Have you tried moving it inti "N" while the engine is switched off? Have a look under the car if you can and see if the linkage is broken. Is there a way of checking to box oil? My Volvo S60 had a small dip-stick on the box? Hope this helps... Might mean calling the RAC/AA out if all else fails :huh:

I suspect a mechanical fault: Not familiar with this model but 90% of shifts on Autos are a simple latching retract system.......operated by the handle button.(Rather like the handbrake setup.)

Try accessing the top of the gearbox by remving the trim panels around the shift: You should be able to see then if the lever release button is having any effect at the lower end: You may be able to release the latch manually once you can see the mechanism.

Good Luck!

Make sure your brake lights are both working, without these it wont let you select any gears as it's a safety device built into the Surf

Hope this helps
