Hi
Got a problem with gearbox I think! On cold start when I put into gear, message centre says gear selected. But vehicle will not move, on forward takes around 4-10 seconds depending on how cold it is. If I need to reverse can take up to 30 seconds to engage.
Have done the gearbox filter and replaced oil, but still same problem
Also get a rattle from what seem like the back n/s silencer but yet again only happen on cold start-up.
Have been underneath on start-up with ear to transfer box and back diff, can hear no noise. Seems to be coming from where the n/s back box is. Did not stick my ear to the back box. ;-)
Not sure if I have 2 problems, but like I say, after a couple of min no noise and the box works as should do both is sports and low range.
Hope you can help.

Highly likely sticky valve block. Drain a couple of litres of oil and stick a couple of bottles of Lucas in it. See what you get.
 
I assume you used the correct filling procedure? Engine/box cold & idling, move through all gears and back to P, fill to level on dip stick or until it runs out of filler hole if no dipstick.
Lucas has fixed mine for the moment.

Yes I did use procedure as you described, no dip so filled to running out.
