The car revs but struggles when in drive or reverse but doesn’t go anywhere. there was a loud knock and then the warning light came on. RAC came and they saw some filter has the seal not put properly and oil was leaking out. Could this be gearbox oil? 63k miles

Hi it could well be gear oil as the box is struggling to maintain enough pressure to drive the car.

Hi basically its telling you that the pressure switch is reducing the gearbox function due to lack of oil pressure therefore its put itself in to a protection strategy so the gearbox won't self destruct due to the leak, the drivers mirror adjustment fault could be down to corrosion in a connector block but I would definitely get the gearbox leak sorted first, as for the bang I have no idea. It would have been wiser to post the codes and reports first as they are real time info and not a description from a personal perspective of what happened, it cuts out the guess work.
