Default XY Gear Selector doesn’t seem to calibrate, help!

So, have a LR3 manual tdv6 2005. It has the gear selector on the dash taking a few seconds to register, so throws the Amber parking brake light on the dash and a transmission fault (code reader points to xy gear selector), and reverse lights don’t work until clutch fully released for at least 1-2 seconds.

I’ve run through the xy gear sensor calibration routine as found on the forum and in the LR Workshop manual, but still have the problem, so now not sure what to try next, any pointers? (I wonder if the calibration is taking, or I’ve read a few times about update the software on the sensor but no idea how to do that)

Don’t think it needs a new xy sensor (I hope as not sure how to change it as located top of the gearbox) as it will register gear when clutch fully released after 1 or 2 seconds.

Help!

Sadly no, i just live with it, since I literally tried everything bar changing the clutch and also the actual xy sensor.

You will get better assistance on the Disco3 UK forum as the XYZ problem comes up a lot.
