Nice trip to Torquay, Kev. I was half expecting you to recover an old red Austin 1100 Estate with tree branch damage at the front!! 😄

[@jimginn7163]

Kev, on some automatics, if you remove selector cover you can disable park lock, think its a screwdriver job. push the little rod/pin down or over

[@alfiewhittaker3763]

In new discovery models and range rovers its under the Cup holders as a red strap

[@paulbush1497]

Invest in skates... lad... so easy.. what you spending your money on .

[@teesbeat]

Could be a good idea to invest in some wheel skates. They would make those jobs easier.

[@mikey-wj1mp]

hi Kev, yet again a brilliant video! You with your postivity for trucking has made me look forward even more to take my HGV licence once its all open again! Yourself and the rest of the road ledgends are a inspiration for young truckers! Thank you!

[@KevTee]

Thanks for the kind words mate 👍

[@Doobrie2]

Yep as others have said on the LR3 and 4 there is a pull loop to disable the autobox and E-Brake under the cup holders on one and side panel i think on the LR3 iirc best the E-brake Nice work there dude. happy peeps at the end :)

[@backyardbandit4355]

I've worked in recovery and most autos have an override switch for the transmission. On the Discos there should be a coin tray behind the cup holder next to the shifter, prise out with a screwdriver then under it on the left side is a round hole. Put your finger in the hole and you should feel a tab, push is and hold while you move the lever. Hope this helps for the future. Google is also usually your friend in these situations too mate.

[@dazad1972]

common fault in d3, pull off the lever then pull out the trim with the letters on, just pull it upwards underneath and infront of the selecter is a button you can engage to release from park (you have to put the lever back for this part as you have to pull the button on the lever in at same time) there are loads of vids on here, just in case you get it again.

quick tip from an ex recovery driver a bottle of fairy liquid or happy shopper washing up liquid sqtirted right in front of where thr tyre meets the surface will help it yo slide any residue washes away with the rain

[@benbearwilliams2161]

Theres a little tab just under the gearbox selector drive postion push it and will unlock the gear selector

[@dstan128]

Most automatic transmissions have an emergency park release if you Google it you should come across the vehicle you are trying to move or if it's a fwd car you could disconnect the selector cable. Not sure if all vehicles this could be done though

[@mbak7801]

An off road club I used to belong to used discos and defenders. Great fun. The one you dragged off was a bit too new for them. A shame to see it go when it may have been an off road project. Good you strapped it down though. I knew a Rangie towing a trailer with another on the back. The driver got a wiggle on and the whole kit and caboodle tipped over onto the A64. Messy.

Great to hear you haven’t lost the Scottish lingo when you said nae bother well that’s what it sounded like as you you must have picked up a quite a bit of the Scottish accent when in Edinburgh & Elgin that time. Anyway another fabby video cheers Buddy keep up the good work Pal. Love ur videos Kevtee at this & previous firm pal. Hope you have a great week coming up & I look forward to seeing ur next video Kev. 👍

That trip must of been more influential than I thought 😂

[@rossmcgarrie9787]

Definitely was more influential than you thought that time 😂🤣lol. as I still watch it from time to time plus I just love seeing my home country from the A9 & I also love seeing Edinburgh my favourite city as I use to walk around Edinburgh long before MS plus it’s my favourite city pal . I love it there mate.

[@KevTee]

I loved my trip to the Highlands, plan to take the family at some point for a wee holiday 😁

[@rossmcgarrie9787]

Here’s something else to learn Kevtee the Scots say hoose while others will say house. So if I’ve been up seeing my mum & dad keeping social distance & when it’s time for me to go home I’ll say I’m heading back to my hoose shortly or instead of saying now it’ll be noo. There’s even some Scots sayings I’ve not heard of. We’ve got loads North of the border & I mean loads pal.

[@rossmcgarrie9787]

Braw I love the sound of that. There’s a few places I would recommend like Loch Lomond it’s gorgeous around there & you’ve only seen a bit of Edinburgh from ur lorry but you would have to have a good walk around as it is a beautiful city. Plus you would have seen road sign saying Pitlochry from the A9 that’s a lovely touristy town but there’s not a bad place off the A9 it’s gorgeous places like Dunkeld not far from Pitlochry plus you have Blair Athol further North not far from Inverness from what I remember as we use to up North when I was a wee boy. Long time ago now as I’m 47 lol. I hope you guy’s do head North & if you did pop into Falkland & if you seen a Kymco For u mobility scooter with a Volvo B10M badge that’ll be mine as those were my favourite vehicles to work on when I worked for Stagecoach pal

[@doncoleman4938]

I'll have to come over and do a ride along with you. I have a large collection of number plates and could add some more British plates to my collection. And if I don't shave for a week I'll really look like your doppelganger. Take care out there, best wishes from Brisbane, Queensland.

[@findyourwayban1498]

Couldn't see what year it was but Discovery park release is either a cable under the engine cover or under cup holder in centre console.

[@tony.b4368]

Mate, what's going on with that floor mat in a new truck!??.....you been practicing riverdance on your lunch break?😆

[@SuperFIFTHGEAR]

Trying to think...Every truck I've always driven has always had rubber mats, they even wear just under the accelerator pedal where your boot must rest. I'm not one like the fancy Scania drivers to have leather mats and clean footwells. Suppose when you go from RDC to RDC you can have a clean truck like that 🤷‍♂️😂😂

[@scumbag373]

Pull the cup holder up by the selector and there should be a red fabric tag pull that and the parking brake releases

[@matt729]

Got a tip for you mate.. not sure if Trents would of told you this but instead of laying on the floor just turn the wheels lock to lock and put the chains on through the front of wheel arch on the wheel thats pointing outwards 9/10 shows the wishbone so you can hook onto without getting wet 👌 or get a truck mudflap and lay on. Also there is a app called Shiftlock we use it to see where the electric handbrake release is and also auto sometimes deffo worth the buy.

[@KevTee]

Fantastic, thanks for the great pointers 👌

[@TOTk1980]

There is on most usually found near the selector under a plastic cap or in cubby hole you would insert the key into it to release park. Similar deal with Electric handbrakes there will be a method to release it with the engine off, Google will often have the answer.

[@18robsmith]

Well that gave the yocals something to talk about ;-) They can be real wotzitz sometimes - the box can actually lock up in park and the only way to release if the emergency pull doesn't work is to take the selector mechanism off, but that's not something that can be done simply on the roadside (and is far from fun when up to your nads in mud :-( Well done, far from the easiest angle to grab the beast from.
