d2 auto loss of drive after a small vibration

driving along lost drive after a small vibration, there was a small tapping noise on tick over just before i pulled off, but did not think much of it.
no drive in anygear but the tapping niose has stopped and the engine ticks over and revs nice,just no drive any ideas where to start looking thanks wayne..

drive plate for torque convertor

thanks for that replaced the drive plate, grearbox back on now car wont start any ideas thanks ..

xyz switch? thinks it's in gear and won't start.

turns over just dont seem to fire up.. is there any sencers that i may have moved ..

....does the diesel have a flywheel sensor...if it's a diesel, if it's petrol its def got one

if i was not conected would that stop it starting..

...the land rover rave manual says it will not start without it.......i took it off mine when i thought it was faulty last week and it wouldn't.....do you know where it is?

...it also says it does not have a back up strategy so if it fails it will not start and if it is incorrectly fitted it will run rough.

nice one, ive just been back to it and found the wires boken off the top of the sensor, going to get my soldering iron out... lol

...here's hoping...op2:

....did we fix it?

got it started, needs high revs to pull off, sometimes stays in a low gear when it should change up by its self.. also the lights on the gear changer dont light up on D and N unless i pull on the gear changer while im driving any ideas pls..

doesn't sound like there enough oil in the box. you have to run the engine and go through the gears whilst filling the box, put the transfer in N and foot hard on the brakes just in case.

lights are a dodgy connection i expect

yes mate thanks for your input

i changed the xy switch, it now changes gear as it should from 1st right upto D but with this xy switch the R dont light up on the dash and then it wont go back wards, untill i move the gear changer a little bit then the R lights up and it starts to move, i think i must have two faulty xy switches one in the D position and this one in the R position, does this sound right, i can live with it like this because the only one for sale at the min on e bay is £370 bin lol.. is this how much they are ???.. i will ring my local landy shop on monday for a price.. but im back on the road..thanks for all your help..

I know nowt about D2's, but ain't that down to the switch position? I seem to recall that how far it is screwed in, is critical to it working proppa?
