Lol, occassionally I have the same problem as letsavit - auto FFRR, manual Defender, couple of times now I have also tried to start the defender in gear too with the foot on the brake - just as well the Def is strongly built, cannot say the same for the roughcasting on my garage wall where the def's winch bumper has struck it on a few occassions 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

I have a few cars and all are different, so didnt really get used to it as going from one to the other, always mentally check

more interesting for me is switching from manuals to auto and back again...just occasionally go for the gear stick to change gear Smile cheers

I've never had a problem with that (thank goodness), but I remember coming to Europe from the US years ago with a colleague who'd been driving a Porsche 911 for a few months after driving big American boats all his life. We got into the rental Benz - he was going to drive to our meeting while I'd have to do the return trip. I was just relaxing and getting ready to continue my wonderful nights' sleep that had been so rudley interrupted by the plane landing as he accelerated out of the airport. Suddenly, just as the automatic gearbox was about to change gear, he slammed on the brakes and we came to an instant stop with all sorts of suitcases, papers and breakfast rolls flying throught the car. His answer to my 'Hellwazzat?' was 'I.... I don't know'.

In my tired and dazed state (after hanging in the seatbelt at 1G) it took me a moment or 2 to realize he'd stamped the clutch pedal.... Rolling with laughter

I've seen that done with a Benz where they stamped on the e-Brake pedal believing it was the clutch- good for testing the structural integrity of the seat belts, less good for me with quite a strong hangover (Oktoberfest!) Thumbs Up
