If the lights always behave, I doubt its the range switch (selector switch), more likely a electro-hydraulic problem

And also would it be worth changing the auto tranmmission ecu or would that not make a diffrence the machine said (mif) tranmmision mudule). Any ideas what that means p0700 its doing my head in and want to sort it :-(

Cool same here mate its doing my head in if not i dont know what to do next take it to an auto service i surpose ive just soaked it so il find out tomoz when i got to go work but will let you know mate many thanks again darren. It cant be much wrong with it as it goes in first gear for like 3 secs then just revs after that. But all the terminal under the geat leaver look fine. So fingers crossed.    will let you know tomoz mate.
