Hi there,

just a quickie what gear are you supposed to park in ?

cheers

I always put mine in 1st to stop the annoying bleep lol, I think its only warning you that the car is not in gear and could roll so i just flick it over into 1st, But neutral or 0 is fine, On a hill facing down i always put it in reverse, Think i read that in the book somewhere that you should do that.
