It is an auto.
I’ll give a spray and clean a go and see how I get on. Like I say it’s a trivial thing I just don’t want it to end up being a bigger problem and my key gets stuck. |

Since spoken with freelanderspecialists.com and am pretty certain it’s my front transfer box/PTU that is causing me the issue.
