Hi Dr Rob

Thanks!

That looks familiar. But how did you remove the round plastic cover and what is the procedure to release the park/ brake?

Yes, you see the disk? it can be removed easily with a screwdriver, then you have access to the cable. Then the procedure is the same as with the old RRS, using the jack part which is in the trunk.
Why, oh why is this not in the user manual??

I'll assume the 8 speed rotary is the same but might check to be sure Visitor from fullfatrr.com

On rotary gear selector models access to the parking brake release is straight forward.

The two cup holders can be removed by sliding them up up and out, exposing the release loop beneath.

As for positioning the selector in Neutral for recovery towing the best method is select neutral with engine ON. Then turn off engine and selector knob will remain raised and in Neutral. RRS (MY13) Santorini Black SDV6 HSE luxuary

This thread seems to contradict http://www.rrsport.co.uk/forum/topic34685.html
Quoted from the thread:
The rotary knob type (later sport) has a red lever under the cup holder (easy to lift out the way). This is the release from the gearbox being in park (maybe after a flat battery) and you can't use the gear selector. No force need to use this one.

The EPB emergency release is still the old wire loop. This is located under the EPB switch in the centre console. Lift off the flappy bit of plastic in the well of the switch with your finger to expose a pair of screws holding the switch in place. You need a T10 torx to undo these and don't drop them unless you want to dis mental the entire centre console to retrive!

Now lift the switch up (still attached to a cable plug) and in the very narrow gap, you can just about make out the wire loop. Visitor from fullfatrr.com

Hi there. Just had this problem with my 2010 RRS. I have found the small round plastic cover under the cupholders and have opened it but can't then see what to do. Could you help with a bit more of a detailed explanation please?

Many thanks,
Simon
