I am currently in spain and want to know if i can get back to uk ok. Many thanks

Welcome to Briskoda.

I'm not sure on your query but sure someone will be able to help.

Do you have your foot on the brake when you try and move the gearstick? I remember my dad initially got caught out on that one when he had a Polo auto. It wouldn't start or come out of park until the footbrake was on and once, when the brake switch failed he got completely stranded...

Hi and welcome aboard.

It'll either be the brake switch or the solenoid that locks it in P.
