Sport and manual lights blinking along with the D Indicator
So I noticed today parking my rig in the garage that from drive to reverse and back to drive my D2s sport mode, manual mode, and D (drive) indicator started blinking.
I drove it around the block and it feels semi sluggish....
ive read that a common problem was the battery and Im 99% sure the battery is good. Its fairly new and clean.
no codes....
any ideas?

You need to get the trouble codes read with a diagnostic tester preferably a dedicated Land Rover tester. If not, it's a guessing game to find the source of the problem.
Post your fault codes here for us to review.

When you say no codes I'm guessing you're saying the SERVICE ENGINE SOON light is not on. Trans faults don't trigger the SES light; they trigger the flashing M and S lights.
As Juke said, get the transmission codes read.

At least you have a tester. Post all the fault codes when you can.
A great land Rover diagnostic tester is a Foxwell NT-520 or NT-530 for about $150 on line. An even better LR diagnostic tester is a Nanocom Evolution for about +$400.

And BTW, when the truck felt "semi sluggish" it was probably in limp home mode, which means the transmission stays in 3rd gear.

Also... considering this is going to be an XYZ issue. Have you all encountered a good write up on removal of the unit?
ive seen plenty of videos and write ups on taking it apart but noting on removing it which im hearing is a Pain.
