Found this on Ashcroft Gearboxes Q&As
Q. I have a 4sp ZF, when I select "D" the vehicle won't move, when I select "1" the vehicle moves off. I can then select "D" and continue to drive normally. If I stop I have to start in first again. Why?
A. A sprag clutch has "inverted" and will need replacing. No further damage will occur if you continue to drive but you will need to select "1" every time to start moving. A rebuild is required to correct this.

In general auto boxes are more reliable than manual and last longer, but when they do go wrong they cost more to fix. Rather than converting yours wouldn't you be better of selling it and buying a one with a manual already fitted?
be better just to keep it, as its clean as out for a 200tdi and its kitted out for off road, got some expensive bits on it
