No idea as I jave the manual box but I might start with reading RAVE to see how to check the cable adjustment.

2003 P38?
It’s 2001. We’ve had it for about 10 years. Had another second hand gearbox put in about 5 years ago2003 P38?

Could be dirty contracts in the xyz switch.. razz it R-1-R a few times with the ignition off, see if it clears
Is it safe to drive? I went about 100m and came straight home. Then I went up down drive about 10 times. If gearbox had no fluid or problem, bearmach would show a DTC right?

Mine is a petrol, but I'd guess your gearbox is similar. I had a similar problem, was driving in D when the red light decided to flick to 1. Fortunately i wasn't driving fast enough to blow things up.
I should probably take the switch apart and clean it properly, but I've not got around to it yet.

So, physically it performs but electronically it bugs.. I would hazard a guess at the xyz switch as suggested

Think outside, no box required.

It can be taken apart and cleaned out, very common..
Mine used to play up and not select Reverse
A quick thrash up and down the shifter fixed it.
