ok guys i need some help
my expy has been fine, like not a problem since i have owned it for the past year. i get it serviced at ford every time it comes around for servicing.
but the registration is about to run out. now in the middle east you do a thing called registration, which in the uk is call a MOT, and not sure what it is called in the US, but basically they test your car to make sure its road worthy, its a bit of a joke here like most other stuff.
any way i gave my car to a local garage to take down to the traffic directory were they do the testing as i couldnt spare any time do to work.
when i then go to pick up my car from the garage. i start it and it wont go into gear. it stays in park. i have pulled the trigger part on the gear shift and hear the clicking noise from the dash but it wont budge. (i have my foot on the brake as well).
i turn the expy off and start it again and nothing, just the same thing. so i speak to the garage and they send a tech out who starts looking under the steering column then he gets it working after a few minutes and says there is a problem with a wire or something.
prior to this i have never experienced this as at all. no signs what so ever.
has anyone else had this happen to them?
i just find it very strange that is decides to happen at the garage and after it has been to a garage that i have never taken it to before. even though i have had other cars serviced there and they have been ok.
is there any way i can fix this myself?
any help will be very appreciated
cheers
