Hi stewpidnes,

The gear position indicator not lightng up intermittently indicates a fault with the Park Neutral Position switch or it is out of adjustment. When this occurs, shifting would be affected.

As to coolant in the plug holes, it could mean a bad cylinder head. A pressure test would have to be carried out to identify the cause.
