As Andrew said ^ limp mode and thump is often caused solely by the F125 switch with nothing mechanical amiss at all.

Slip is almost always caused by an exploded or burned out clutch pack, but those two solenoid codes make me think otherwise. After you've checked the external connections, pulling the sump will tell you for certain. If there are shiny chunks in the sump then it's a clutch pack and time for a full rebuild. If its all nice and clean then let me know and I'll pull the solenoids and harness out of one of my spares.

Shame you're so far away really. I would have liked to have a crack at this one

PS, drive it as little as possible like this. If it is an electrical problem, banging in to 3rd gear is the best way to make it a mechanical problem!
