You have done our community a huge favor… you sir are a king!

Thanks to your video I was able to get car back on road. 1 hour at most to temporarily fix. Thanks!!!!!! Definitely subscribing. 2010 Jaguar xf S/C 5.0 slightly different setup but exact same underneath.

If you are in a hurry and dont have time to remove the unit, you can press down foot on the brake, press start and the moment it starts, (its in a neutral mode for a second), press down firmly on the gear selector with two fingers and turn at the same time. You will be able to get in gear and get home. If you want to reverse or put back in park, just press firmly on the selector again and turn at the same time to desired gear.

Sir Gemini auto works😁 that’s your new title. Car stuck for 3 days and fixed it in ten mins thanks to you.

You my friend are a genius. It got me out of a very sticky situation and had it repaired for a small cost

Did you get the solenoid replaced?

Thanks man. I just did this this morning in Colorado and it got my wife’s Disco home. Appreciate it.

Thank you so very much for your help! Mine was stuck in Drive in the middle of the street and I was able to follow your instructions to get it in N and R, and get the vehicle off the street instead of waiting 3-4 hours for a tow truck on a Friday night! Again, many thanks.

Brill video helped me as stuck for 6 hrs in middle of nowhere and got home on it in my lR4 2014 model 😀 👍

You Sir, are a genius, thank you for sharing this 👍👍

This dude jammz.. Did mine and is truly working... thank u sir

Life saver!! My hours at work have been cut and all of my bills are due including yearly property taxes AND It’s Christmas!!! This broke on me the morning I was going Christmas shopping for my 7 year old. Thank you so much, you have no idea how much this saved me until I can afford a new piece.

Legend mate thank you, I’m a roadside mechanic and see this fault all to often. Hopefully going forward I’ll have more people moving.

Thanks for the video it will help me to fix

This video was very useful today when my Evoque would not shift out of park. I was able to get it home, where I disassembled the selector. One issue was the plastic piece through which the threaded bar runs to raise and lower the knob was broken into 4 pieces. I 3D printed a new one, but that didn't fix the shift problem. That turned out to be no voltage to the solenoid, caused by one of the pair of 1 ohm senses resistors going bad. They are by the 3 pin connector on the board. I found another one on a scrap PCB, replaced it and now the selector works fine.

Did you do diagnostics? what error code came up? my car Disco Sport L550 SE has gear box fault, parking brake fault, can't get it into gear had to be towed, they think fault wiring harness, but others say possible a transducer or resistorrr.

Hello, good video. What happens if the lifting of the knob is neutralized, remaining always raised , neutralizing the internal mechanical plastic part that blocks the knob? Thank you.

Thanks 🇧🇷🔥

I had one the other day different problem. The black prong had snapped on the bottom of the selector making the car immobilized. I got it going temporary. New one is 3k nzd ex UK

I can't seem to figure out how to get all the plastic off so I can get to the unit. 2016 Land Rover LR4

How do you remove the unit from a 2015 LR4

can you tell me the 12 pinout of the Gear Selector ??

Before reinstalling, does the selector need to be lowered back down or is it left in the up position?

Hello sir, what if we just do that and use like this without ordering new one. This way can cause any problem in future ? Thank you in advance

@TheRussBroom

Not particularly. The vehicle still won’t select gears without you pressing the brake pedal, so it’s a double interlock really.

I used an elastic band, but yeah 👍

So I took mine out of a Range Rover 5.0 Super-Charged Long Wheel Base, I tested the park solenoid and it works with a 9v battery, I am no sure what the problem is when it is hooked to the car the knob wont turn however after i did this fix in your video the shifter works fine, except it will lock every chance it gets I have to always manually remove it

It’s usually a circuit board failure, rather than the solenoid. They last forever.

Howzit my Evoque was able to move to all of the mode except park what could be the fault now

Hi,trying to get my head around this part and its function. I’m assuming that when the rotary dial rises, the shift lock disengages at the same time allowing the dial to move to drive etc so now that the shift lock is held in the unlocked position with the duck-tape, when the car is turned off and the dial lowers, in theory the rotary dial can still be turned because the lock is held open with the tape albeit the dial will be hard to turn because it is flush. So my question is if this is not a part for safety can this work-a-round be permanent ? A new selector is £600 and refurbished selector £300.

I did this when I got stuck before. Once I pressed start I immediately firmly press on the selector down and turn it at the same time to move into gear.

How do you fix not being able to select gear permanently please

Hello sir .if i make it there is problem in the future ?????

Thank you.... I have the same problem. My Disco 4 is from 2014. What do you think it is gear selecotor failure or something wrong with the brake impulse coil ??

If it rises but you’re unable to turn the lever it’s most likely the selector unit. If you are able to do a code scan it will probably have a fault for the interlock solenoid.

Great tip, don't replace the unit there's a company that repairs these and upgrades the electronics so it doesn't happen again, costs a lot less than a new one too.
