Seat Arona my seat arona automatic gets stuck in park ?

If the diagnostic scan shows a fault code for that , hard to dispute but not good for a car of that mileage / year . Is it possible to jiggle the gear selector whilst holding key in start position and see if it starts ?

Wow, that was a speedy reply , - much appreciated . No, it doesn't jiggle ; its locked solid when this happens . Thanks for replying!

There are a few fuses related to the automatic gearbox / lever you could check to see if ok and seated all right but a long shot

Well, thanks again for a very comprehensive reply . Mmm... too many fuses! Strange that this problem occurs sporadically .

This one would be the most likely if any ( oh if it would be so simple , lol )
