It's the solonoid that locks it in park. Put the handbrake on, keep your feet off the brakes and try taking it out of park ;)

It's working as it should. You're hearing the solenoid that releases the selector when you have your foot on the brake. Try moving the selector without your foot on the brake.  :y


must type faster ....  ;D

and if you read your manual ........  ::) you'll see it says that if you wanted to move your car with a dead battery or you have problems with the solenoid/brake pedal switch, then you lift the gaiter from the gear lever you'll see a yellow lever. Lift this & you can then move the lever.  :y :y

read your manual
;D

R.T.F.M should be a help guide all of its' own... ::)

No offence intended to anyone. I'm probably the last person to read mine..., besides, if teh glove box was a bit bigger there might actually be room for the handbook in it...
