Hi all. I'm completely new to the world of series 3 ownership, and after just a few days I have an issue that has baffled me.

I bought a series 3 that's had a TD engine transplant and some serious suspension upgrades, and all seemed well. That was until tonight!!

I've just tried to move the landy out of my garage and it won't move. It will engage gears but just won't move when I lift the clutch. I'm assuming by the way I can get it in to gear that it isn't a clutch issue, so I am baffled?

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance. Steve

I'll go and check, that could be a shout. My son was in the cab earlier so maybe knocked it.

Push it forward with your foot on the clutch, see if it goes in high range.

It was what you said, it had been knocked out of high range. Feel a bit daft I didn't check that. Thanks for your help everyone.

I know doubt will be picking brains over the next few weeks as I try to get to grips with this.

I did it whilst driving...................Took me a few heart stopping moments at the lights before I came to my senses.
