Last year I had a brown trouser moment in France with my manual Freelander. It came to a standstill on a French autoroute right in the middle of a contra-flow. The engine died and refused to start. The car had to be pushed out of the way (not by me!) and eventually placed onto a rescue truck and taken away. I won't bore you with the rest of the story.
This afternoon I wanted to move my Evoque auto a very short distance (2ft by pushing it) without starting the engine. Couldn't find a way to do it. Gear selector won't rise to allow selection out of P and the handbrake won't release. Just wondered what one could do in the circumstances above. Any thoughts?
