Why do we drive them ???
It can only be cause we love them, not for the quality or service....
I put the car at the dealer this morning to fix the parking break error and some other thingies (mudflap needs to be replaced, roofrack needs to be refitted)
Just went to pick up the car, and guess what: NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE!
The engineer has been trying to fix the parking brake error all day, together with some engineer from LR UK (via phone)
The only thing they came up with: "It might be the sensor at the gearbox"
So sensor is ordered, and now we have to wait again ....
On top of that, it the error is there now the moment I shift from 1st to 2nd, and the gear indicator doesn't always know in what gear I am.
Anyone knows here if this is a known problem, and what the fix is?

Don't worry...
Mine is at a dealership a hundred kilometres away and I am driving a rented Scenic in the meantime... And why is that ? Well the new battery has to come from England ! I guess that this battery must be quite something...

It's a TDV6 Manual SE build 2005
Thanks
The Park brake failure isn't a park brake failure at all. It is the gear indicator switch. The car relies on this switch to setup the ECU for the various off-road programmes. If the switch does not detect the gear properly it was cause major problems in an auto, but hardly affect a manual. Land Rover decided to wire the warning to the brake as they thought people were more likely to report a brake fault where they might choose to ignore a gear selection indicator error.
The reason your truck is now not registering the gear properly is because they've been fiddling with the switch set up on test book.
