Parked the FL2 automatic today and when I went to put it in the park position it would not go in. It would move between reverse, neutral and drive. It seems like the mechanism in the selector stick that you depress to move between modes is not working correctly. Eventually got it into park by much vigorous movements and being more forceful with the button on the selector stick.
My question is how do I dismantle the stick so I can inspect the button to see if something is worn or more likely broken?
It may be necessary to take the centre consul apart. How is this done?
Any pitfall advice would be also helpful. Freelander 2 2007 TD4 HSE auto

There have been problems with the Spring inside the Button on the Selector Knob.

Dan at Duckworth's is your man he will get one to you quickly the part itself is fairly easy to fit there are lots of instructions how to do it on the forum.

I have removed the gear knob and found the spring snapped. Picture attached.
Also found a cable tie round the neck of the knob which is not mentioned anywhere.

Hello guys, Any ideas how to get a new spring back in the knob??
I will try the sites mentioned in another post (http://www.sprez-mot.com.pl/kontakt.htm) and see if they can still make it..



Regarding the removal of the knob, it is very easy! the cable tie is mentioned in the workshop manual showing that you have to cut it and refit a new one later. Keep thinking! Imagine if you stop.

You need a new gear stick knob.
The one shown in the picture is snaped.
It should be in one piece. Freelander 2 2007 TD4 HSE auto
