DB9 trans fault

[cerbian]

Got the car out of the garage to take for MOT it won’t go into park comes up trans fault.
So started to drive in for a 1hr in and out of neutral and back into drive and reverse.
Had to go and fill up with petrol used the service key,car went into park.
Got to the MOT station used the glass key this then when to park as well.
My question is has my glass key got a code fault or something else is happening.

Am I wrong?

Oh goodness! I fell for it again.

How silly of me to think politicians make a public statement, then ensure that the action is properly implemented.

OMG that is a major fail from our illustrious leaders - talk about not having joined up thinking !!

It’s a simple fix buddy... the ‘arm’ for the transmission park gets a bit jammed. It’s on a cable controlled by a motor.
All you need to do is push the arm towards the front of the car.
You can get yourself down by the drivers side rear wheel arch, feel up for the transmission tunnel and there should be an arm controlled by a cable there. It’s not easy to see unless the car is jacked up. It’s almost where the rear seat is... push it forward... that’ll park lock it. It gets stuck sometimes. Don’t overthink this bud... it’s just a very minor issue, not a gearbox rebuild

Oh, and btw... cerb Ian... I had a Cerbera too before the db9. I rebuilt that car and it funded my Aston :-)

Thanks really missed the unpredictable way the Cerbera wanted to kill you, had to be on your game every time.had the 4.5 what about you.

I never felt that... I used to power slide it out of corners as it was so predictable. Then I did have it for ten years. It was like a go kart for me. Loved it. Feel like buying a Ferrari 360 now though to recreate it

There was a recall for this in the early days, park lock glide plate from memory, I think they replaced it or deburred it so it moved nicer in the slot, its bolted on the side of the box so easy to do, it's a zf hp6 box very common ,

Your MoT date should get extended once it's within 3 days of expiry. Mine did, and now it's good until October. My tax renews at the end of the month by DD so hopefully that will go through just fine now.
