2.2tid Stuck in Park
« on: 14 July 2013, 09:27:11 AM »
Ooer, a few hundred miles of comfortable. Down to the shops this morning, get the Sunday papers, and Lo and behold the old girl is stuck in "Park" can't shift the thing at all. I suspect that the interlock is bust somewhere. Any ideas chaps?

Push down the manual release with the end of the key.  It's the little rectangular button beside the selector lever.

It's actually in the small print in the handbook, which I, of course, had not read ...

I knew about it, but only because of an unpleasant experience in a Mercedes e class auto some years ago in Edinburgh. At lights on the main road north out of the city at fruday pm rush hour in the right hand lane the engine stalled for no obvious reason. Put in park and tried to restart. Nothing. Tried to get car pushed to the side - stuck in park! Had to sit there causing. Huge blockage until the recovery man came. He put the key in the slot and we could roll to the side! Turned out to be a simple fuse. But not in the main fuse o. I'd checked. A tiny one by the battery!

Some drivers very rude to me - they seemed to think I wanted to be stuck in the outside lane at rush hour!!....
