My wife has a 2004 Range Rover Discovery and she cannot get it out of park. It is stuck in our garage and will be next to impossible to get a tow vehical to it. Any suggestions I could try tonight??

I had a very similar situation. I believe there is a very simple fix. Start the car & press on the breaks. See if the tail lights & break lights work. if they do not it is a simple fix. the same fuse that controls the brake light controls the brake pedal release for the celanoid release pin to remove the car from park. If you have ever been to a Land Rover off road event & the instructor talks of this pin (i.e. always on an incline to use your parking brake)... check your fuse under the stering wheel column & replace if blown. If this is not it & you need to move the car to the service bay, or to go get a fuse, you can pull straight up on the shifter knob it will release the plunger the pull up on the shifter console surround (plastic molding that has gear insignia P R N D 3 2 1 & mode button. Below this you will see the celanoid to release the Park Pin you can manually push in the pin to release the car from Park. note it takes 2 hands... keep you foot on the brake

The brake lights do not come on and all the related fuses are good. But I was able to find the gear release and can shift into R and D etc. Thank you very much for your quick response.

Check all the fuses again... If you lights don't come on it should be the fuse.
good luck.

It could also be the brake light switch on the brake pedal, they are also know for issues.
