It will drive but only in one gear 2nd or 3rd will not go up or down the range.
Help any ideas, thanks

Answer
Hi Lynda,

the most common problem with this is a faulty gear selector mechanism.  Fortunately, a good local automatic transmission shop should be able to help you.  Otherwise, take your Rangie to the dealer and they'll correct the poorly-adjusted gear selector.

Best of luck,
