Adrian,
I read your post this morning but didn't have a chance to reply. It gave me the confidence to take the car. What you've said sounds very similar to my problem.

The car was fine this morning and on the way back home until I reversed into the street. Now 'D' doesn't light up but 'R' and 'P' do. I've not checked since I parked up about 3 hours ago. I'll check it in the morning.

I hope this isn't something else going wrong.
