I have had a few conversations about the selector lock actuator and am now going over to see St. Wellung of the Dudley parish this weekend.  Blessed art him 

Hopefully it is the brake light switch or can be resolved with switch cleaner or something 

welung666 had a good look at this today-many thanks to him-and lubricated the moving bits and added a laccy band to assist the return. 

Seems to work fine-will update soon

My 2002 MV6 3.2 Omega Auto needs cleaning inside the auto gearbox selector switch but does not have enough space to access the 10mm selector switch fixing screws and to access the wiring connector (6" away). I also have 2 heat shields covering the wiring and selector switch with fixing screws that are unreachable. Can anyone suggest suggest a solution apart from dropping the gearbox as my Haynes manual suggests?

Alternatively is there anyone within sensible travelling distance of Manchester Airport who has experience of doing this job and who would be prepared to tackle fixing my selector switch?

1.      Put the car in neutral.
2.      Remove the selector lever from the mode switch.
3.      Remove the cover.
4.      Loosen the two 10 mm. mounting screws.
5.      By rotating the mode switch you can line up the slot in the mode switch housing with the selector shaft bushing.
6.      Insert a 2,4 mm punch (3/32 in) in the slot.
7.      Tighten the two 10 mm. screws.





Using a multi meter.

1.      Put the car in neutral.
2.      Disconnect the mode switch connector. It’s located in front of the air filter box and it’s the biggest of the three you’ll find there. (black).
3.      Connect a multi meter set to resistance between terminals 1 and 4.
4.      Loosen the two mounting screws of the mode switch and find the range of electrical contact by turning the entire mode switch.
5.      Then fix the mode switch to the middle of that range and tighten the two mounting screws.

Sorry I'm a bit confused :
You mean :
I EITHER follow steps 1-7  OR  steps 1-5
Do you ?
