2000 320cdi auto selector

hoping someone can point me in the right direction. i will start by giving a list of the problems that are connected with my auto selector.
1) sometimes the the gauge in the dash that shows what gear you're in is blank
2)sometimes difficult to move selector out of park
3)sometimes when in park, dash gauge will show R and will not allow car to start
4)moving selector from D to R will only do it if foot off the brake pedal.
to do my head in even more sometimes it works absolutely perfect but i don't want to run the risk of getting stranded somewhere.
T.I.A guys and gals

where is the gear selector lever switch?i am hoping it is something outside of the selector unit the reason i say this is because this is a replacement selector unit but is displaying probs sometimes similar to the one it replaced.the last one i pulled the lever so hard it snapped,forcing me to replace, i also assumed it was a plug and play, but am now not so sure.
