Morning all,

Pulled into a layby and switched the engine off and now I cannot get it to start. When in neutral it thinks its in 3rd and in park it thinks its in 2nd thus I cannot start.

P38 is a 2000 2.5 DSE.

Has been misbehaving for a week now, always seems to happen when its been raining. Any ideas?

I don't know much about Rangies and only a learner where auto boxes are concerned...

But sounds like a poor electrical connection to gearbox ecu to me.
