Hello, I have a 95 Disco 1. The key is stuck in the ignition. I brought the car to the dealer, and they fixed the brake switch.. however they said to fix the key stuck, I would have to replace the shifter assembly costing 1200.00. I would have been led to do this until one day I left my lights on and ran my battery dead. To my surprise my keys where no logner stuck and the whole iginition worked fine. Leading to me maybe a bad switch is keeping my key stuck in the ignigtion. Does anyone have any ideas?

Sounds like the park switch on the transmission.
If you jam the trans lever forward can you make it come out??

if the button gets all slimed up and dosent pop out the key gets locked in...its part of the safty? system.

spray a little tri-flow/WD40 in the shifter knob and work it till it snaps out.if it just slowly slides out the key will still be locked in.
