Hi Everone, I hope some of you wise people can help with this one...? Basically, I can't get my jag out of PARK..... We've got a Jaguar XJ40 Sov. 4L Auto 1994 (UK L plate).. It was running just great a couple of months back (never any problem) but I put it off road for 3 months, in my garage.
I didn't disconnect the battery (foolish boy?) and so when I came back the jag would not start... So I got a new battery and it started 1st time - all well and good. But now I cannot select drive, the gear lever just won't budge.
Interestingly, when I press the brake pedal it doesn't 'click' like it did before - and as you are aware you must press the pedal before you can select another gear....
I am not getting any fault codes from the VCM, but when I pump the break - the parking break light is illuminated for a few seconds......hmmm.... Then it goes out again... Also the pedal itself.... Feels fine.... The garage is on a level surface and I am confused.
Please help me... This is my 6th Jag and I've never had a problem like this before...
All advice well recieved and thanks.
