Just bought this 2.9TD L322 vogue.
Gears moving forward are fine. Reversing is the problem. The gear box selects reverse ok. However when I give it gas, it feels like the handbrake is still on.
This model has a manual hand brake in the cockpit not and electronic brake.
Eventually with lots of revs it does move.

I think it may be a solenoid or relay sticking.

Any help appreciated. !

Try driving in low ration for a few miles, then drive in sport mode for a while. Hook up a scanner and clear the ubiquitous trans warning for autobox and see what happens, you may need to clear the code a couple of times before seeing any improvement but it is DEFINITELY worth trying.
