Hi, the gearbox light for R is lit up but the lever is in P, cant move lever from P, car wont start as it thinks its in R. pulled consol cover off around gear lever, managed to move the gear lever lock with a screw driver so can now move gear lever but no matter where we put it it still thinks its in Reverse, put it back in P and its locked again. Electrical problem! any ideas! thanks

is the box actually in reverse or park, you can push the vehicle if it is in reverse, you won't move it if it is in park

the starter inhibitor switch is on the box, not on the lever

It seems it is in revers as you can push it, I asumed it was in P as thats where the lever is, must be broken shifter cable.

Sounds like the inhibitor switch is broken
The broken bits can get in the way and stop the leaver moving and still inhibit the start no matter what gear its in

2 issues, the leaver is released by electric via footbrake with ignition on the start inhibitor is via switch on side of box
there is a manual over-ride on the lever, think it is a small slot or hole on the left side of the console, down about mums ankle height, push either the key or a screwdriver in there and it should release the lever

No manual over ride down where you said. there is a little plastic arm i with the gear lever that must be controlled by an eletric solenoid, flcik that out of the way and the gear lever is free to move, until you go back into Park and its locked again.
