Hello all
This afternoon my trusty Rangie decided it wasn't going to allow me to drive home from the supermarket (Waitrose, so at least it was in good company )
The engine started all fine, and the rotary gear selector popped up, but it refused to budge. Tried several times (turning on and off again etc).
Checked that the brake lights were all working etc.

I've arranged with my breakdown recovery service to get the car recovered back to home in the first instance later this evening (when the shop and the car park is quieter so they can get close to the car), and hopefully I can use the emergency cable release underneath the cup holders to at least get it out of park and into neutral so it can be winched up on to the flat bed.
However, whilst googling away I have not yet come across instructions for how to get access to the control unit. When I've tried searching, I just seem to get back loads of hits on how to remove the control dial itself , which is all well and good if I wanted to change my dial from the standard one to a shiny metal thing...

Anyway, does any one have any links to somewhere that can show me how to get access to the gubbins underneath? I am assuming that something in the control unit has gone awol and is no longer recognising the fact that I have my foot on the brake when trying to engage the gear...

Cheers Current

Does this help?

Other than the language that does indeed provide a good view on how to get at it

Whether I can then disassemble the unit to get inside it is another matter, but lets get it out first. Current

I agree it is informative don't need the language to understand what to do.  2017 SDV8 4.4 silicon silver AB

So I thought I would come back to this to report on my bank holiday Monday efforts to rip the interior of my car apart
The video as linked in the earlier post by Pillv8s was helpful for most of it. Whilst he had videoed most of the steps involved, there were some steps that were not covered in the video that he had either missed in the edit, or had simply described (in a language I could not understand).
However, after several hours (and some swearing) I did eventually get the part removed.

These modules brand new vary in price cheapest is £300 to £750 how long did it take you to do it as my car is being recovered and might have to be dropped at stealers. Would attempt myself but just haven’t got the time at minute.

I'd say it took me a good 5-6 hours in total to extract it from the vehicle. Mind you, i was following the video linked by PillV8s and had to keep going back and forth over some of the bits just to make sure i was doing it correctly.

I'll guess that an experienced tech at the dealer may know how to take apart the centre console and so complete the job quicker.

I had not seen any units for sale, hence why i am going down the refurb route (booked in online and awaiting collection via DHL today) - the refurb will cost me £300 Current

I thought I would circle back to this to provide a happy update.

I sent my Transmission Control Module off to ECU Testing Limited. Their website allows you to register the fault and book in the unit for servicing, and it automated a DHL collection service.
They kept me informed at all stages (receipt, repair, dispatch) and I received back the refurbished unit within the week.
Last night I finally got away from work with enough time to allow me to fit, and re-assemble the car interior and am happy to report that all works well (and more importantly, no spare parts left over )

I have no affiliation with ECU Testing other than being a very happy customer who is very happy to have his car back on the road

Total cost of repair was £319.80 (including VAT and shipping) plus about 9 hours of my own time to take apart/re-assemble. Current

Hi mate going attempt this at weekend you say whole centre console had to be moved back doesn't show this in video they just undo the screws near the top and able the top console open and hold it up with a screw driver. Did you take off the console under the temperature dials it doesn't show how to do this in video.

Hi

Yes, I had to remove the temp control panel as the cup holder sliding cover (when extended) would not clear the panel. It was a bit of a to do.
Another thing not clear in the video is the emergency transmission release handle - he shows removing the screw that holds it down, but I found that the handle itself interfered with the lifting of the centre console, so I had to push the whole emergency release handle down below its location below the cup holders.

One final thing - the video shows the popping of the 2 clips at the front of the centre console as being easy to pop off - these were to do in the end - I had to use 2 levers on each to prise the thing apart.

Hi yes I have already removed a few bits the temp control panel silver side trims panel that surrounds the touch screen I was refering to just below the temp control panel the centre console goes right under neath it but the video skips the removal of this was it straightforward to remove just Torx screws etc.
