I have had several issues with gear selection mainly in drive but also in reverse

When parked I select drive and the light flashes but car will not move
This has also happened in reverse

Dealer can offer no expalnation apart from saying that I must be moving the selector to quickly into gear before I have my foot on the brake - RUBBISH
I am sitting at the lights in Neutral and my foot is on the brake - I select gear and it just flashes?????

Anyone else had this problem

Yes I have had exactly the same problem as you describe but it is just one of a number of issues with the XF that nobody at JLR and their dealers are able to explain and more importantly ----Solve!!

I had this problem. A software update solved the gear selection issue.

Several explanations were proffered, including turning the knob too quickly, or when the vehicle wasn't stationary. Pre-update, I'd simply select "P", then the desired gear.

Post-update (I've had a few other updates since), no gear selection issue anymore.

Hope that helps.
