Gearbox Issues

I have a Disco 3 2006 auto and I'm having big issues with the gearbox. The Disco drives perfectly fine in the day but come night time it refuses to move. It's got to the stage where I have to be home before it gets dark.
I really don't understand it, I put the gear selector into D for day and it drives fine, I select N for night mode it doesn't budge, it's really beginning to Censored me off. It seems night mode is faulty, I've had to walk home twice
Also another issue I've got is when I select R for race mode it shoots backwards ( I've had a few close shaves with that at the traffic lights ) I'm at my wits end
Any ideas before I contact Landrover
