auto transmission problem

i have just purchased a 2002 td4.. there is a problem with the sport/manuel setting.. i am pretty sure the gear lever should be in D and pull across to activate. i can only get the gear lever across to the right when the selector in on N. i am new to land rover so know nothing of the workings of this... is there a gate selector for the sideways operation. i was thinking that this may have moved so it is not lined with the D.. is that a possibility... any info would be great

thanks

Blimey! That's a coincidence. Same thing is happening to a bloke on this thread too: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/why-cant-i-select-sport-mode-218265.html

Its a safety feature. When you pass the Freelander track day test, they enables it with one o them code reader jobbies!
