I tried to turn on the truck after a car wash and it wouldn't start. I did notice that when stepping on the brake pedal to start the engine, the pedal wouldn't travel. So when pushing the start/stop button all I did was turn ignition on (no engine start).

After figuring this out (I didn't immediately) I tried releasing the parking brake and slightly pushing the truck backwards. It worked :biggrin: I got back on, I could press the brake pedal and now feel it travel. The engine started as usual. :proud:

Has anyone experienced something similar? :confused:

I am envious of your Land Rover problems, Alex. Really wish I had one so I could be part of the fraternity of dissappearing navigation screens and audio systems; mysterious creaks and noises; unexplained engine stalls; unexplained ignition failures; unexplained dash lights and other warning signals; and messageboard celebrations following 3,000 consecutive miles of failure free driving. Sounds like a great club.

Just because your wife lets you talk to her like that or you are used to treating your two kids this way, it doesn't mean you should be your usual self on the forums.
