Experience Owner of a Discovery. I've had many mishaps with our Disco but I still like this vehicle. Talk to a fellow LR owner instead of a dealership rep. I'm not in this for the money. I'm just an owner who wants to help others.
Question I own a 2002 Land Rover Disco. Recently it would not shift out of park. After removing the shift cover I was able to manually push the small button in that was locking the shift lever in place. What do I need to do to fix the problem?
Thank you,
Don
Answer Hi Don,
first check the brake pedal switch to make sure its working. Do you have brake lights on when you fully press the pedal? This is not a very expensive repair.
Could also be the park-neutral switch - more costly repair.
The older Disco's had a problem with a circlip on the shifter - it would break off and thus the shifter would become stuck.
