Sounds like one of the electrical solenoids in the valve body has gone down, does F4 appear in the message centre?

Get a diagnostic done on it. Land Rover T4 will talk to your car, as well as the auto gearbox. Some independent garages also have it. They’ll be able to tell you what the fault code is, or if they can see what’s failing. Other software available but it couldn’t pick out the faults codes on the auto when mine was checked.

Don’t leave it to chance. Mine needed changing and couldn’t be saved.

If you tell us roughly where you are, someone may be able to point you to a known garage. Failing that your local main dealer will give a diagnostic for max £100. I know it’s not to some people taste, but all you need to know is the fault, at first.
