Thank goodness for finding your site. Went into panic mode with thoughts of thousands of pounds for a replacement box for 06 HSE. Fault found as explained on your site. Thread explaining procedure for replacement was excellent and looked easy to follow, However with the chance of possible damage to gearbox if heavy handed I decided to "squirt" pin and linkage with release oil. Touch wood, at least so far, Drive can now be positively engaged and confidence regained for motoring in general. Trust this "squirt" has remedied the fault and fixed it, albeit maybe temporarily. At least now having an understanding of the fault panic mode has subsided.
Really informative site but the more I read the more I listen and look for faults which may occur on this my first Disco. If I'd found your site prior to buying ____ ?????

next option will be the complete gear selector with new cable
option after that, control module in the gearbox or new box

Hi,
I have suffered the same problem for the last couple of months, at one point wondered if it was a gearbox issue.
Anyhow, read through some of the posts on the forum and have just finished fitting the new parts as suggested.
Wow, what a difference, lt is so easy to select the gears now. I highly recommend you do the same if you have had this problem. At one point I was very wary of pulling out of junctions as I did not know if the car was going to move or just sit revving, well worth £13.00 from the stealers for the parts.
Lots of WD40 plus motaquip anti seize grease, job done ! Thought as much !!

Like another post I too had a call from the wife yesterday and the thought of a very very expensive repair bill went through my head. Found this thread this morning and £7.76 bought me a new lever and bush. Sweet as a nut by lunchtime. Thank you!

Interesting link and comments about simply using WD40 (my friendly LR Dealer offered to do this, this morning) but the new lever has a soft metallic insert as opposed to the original one that contained a nylon insert. I decided that the improved lever and time saved trying to loosen and clean a very seized bush made £7 a no brainer.

Mine started playing up in the recent cold weather, took it to my indie today, so used to doing it they took 10 minutes with a total bill of 19 quid! Very pleased indeed Nick

Easy way to fix it is drop down the front of the gearbox guard & spray the linkage with spray grease. Easy peaty & did mine many moons ago & no problem again. Sorted.
PS This is the stuff, works a treat.
