Good plan. Wondering if the various leaks have helped free it.......!Cool, IMHO it's a good time to get under there with some decent spray lubricant, and keep the linkage in fine fettle
I found it's not too often that the outside bits stick, unless they've been in the mud a lot, but most likely the pin and slide arrangement at the top of the gearbox housing. There's every chance if you take the centre console off, and the bits underneath, that you'll find a still semi seized area. A good dose of oily stuff to free it properly, a lot of hand movement to help it, then a dollop or three of grease will help it stay free ...

You are probably right!
Funny though (and a real schoolboy error) thought I'd give it a go.. so in the car park, on a solid surface, drove forward, turned and drove forward again. Stopped, disengaged and the light remained on.... re-engaged, disengaged etc, ignition on, off, on, off, light still on... brilliant, found something and broken it within 5 mins..... remember something about transmission wind up.... pop it in reverse, back up a few yards and happy days, chime and light off...
Note to self.... only play with it on a loose surface!!!
