Hey guys,

wife has just called to say and i'm quoting

"It won't go forwards or backwards, feels like something has dropped"

I've not seen the car yet and i'm assuming the worst (gearbox)? It's a 2004 D5, gearbox had the valve body replaced about 2 years ago.

Any ideas? anything to check?

Cheers

Parking brake?

On second thoughts, perhaps not - they're not that good...

Good Luck !!

Cheers

Dave

Would you believe it, parking brake light isn’t working and it was on 😂

Glad it was that simple

Hi
I suppose putting a sign on the dash "remember parking brake" won't go down very well?

Might be less pain to just fix the warning light...

Cheers
