    hi there
    im just after buying a toyota landcruiser automatic

    as usual , there is always a few teething problems when you get a new bus
    today i was doing a bit of toeing and i decided to shift the small gear stick into the diff lock possition, as soon as i did i found i couldnt move the select gear out of PARK and into DRIVE or even REVERSE

    so i did what we all do last , i took out the manual , on page 545 it said that if this happends , you have to press the SHIFT LOCK button ( which is beside the select gear ) down while moving the select gear to DRIVE or REVERSE , theese instructions were in the chapter (EMERGENCYS ONLY) and below the instructions it said , consult dealer ) , this procedure worked but every time ive attempted to put the select gear into DRIVE since , ive had to repeat this process

    it seems a bit extreme to have to bring the jeep to the garrage for something as simple as this and i as i said there is always teething problems at the start, it is however still under warrant so perhaps i should book her in

    i have shifted the small gear stick back and forth a few times but i still have to push down the SHIFT LOCK button in order to move the select gear
    no diff light on

    by the way , its not brand new , its 2 yrs old so this is the final yr of warranty
