Yes to all but not sure about reverse lights will check.
How so i recalibrate the switch Adrian or should I bring it down to South again for your expert services?

You need to drive through all gears until the indicator shows. Start in reverse, then 1 through to 6. Can be done in low range!
Had to do this myself once. Been fine ever since. Andy

full procedure ...low gear is proberly best as said ..unless you have a long road
Start in reverse then each forward gear, hold each gear with foot fully off the clutch until the gear indication shows the selected gear, this must all be done in one ignition cycle. Once complete turn ignition off and remove key until the radio clock & park brake indicator go off G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

Hi Wiggs,
I, and many on here, would know that you meant "Low Range", but perhaps not everyone.
Best Wishes,

How on earth did you guys discover that fix?
I'm constantly amazed by the amount of knowledge on this forum. Makes me almost want to experience this problem just so that I can fix it! 2001 D2 GS (I must be mad!)

Happened to me. My car has had a new xyz switch, I was told the gear box had to come out to get access to that, gone for 3 days, it happened again recently and went in twice to the dealer, once for a day and then for 3 days, I would be a little  off if all they did was what you have said, could have done it myself without the time and cost involved in getting it to a dealer. All done under warranty.

I think that fix has been around a while hasn't it guys? I seem to remember using it on my 54 plate SE at the beginning of 2005. Didn't BN say it didn't work?? 2011 D4 Landmark, Mini Cooper SD Clubman, Range Rover Vogue SE

Actually he said it might or might not work, but he couldn't tell us as it was still confidential  2011 D4 Landmark, Mini Cooper SD Clubman, Range Rover Vogue SE
