Thanks I did. I found your original post through your comments on the you tube video. Very useful, thanks.
I only experienced this problem once but it does look like it is the same issue.
The pedal is stiffer and does not seem to move so easily and sometimes squeaks going between N and D.

I put it into P but it was still registering Reverse and I had to move it back to R and back to P again. This was when the warning light came on and the P started flashing in every drive mode except R.
I decided to drive home instead of trying to restart as I was scared it may not restart. As soon as I applied power, the turtle came on and I had no regen at all so the brakes got a bit of a workout!

I can't remember if KIWIEV posted a video on taking apart the shifter to clean and lubricate it. Can't seem to find it on his you tube channel but I may have to do that and see if there is any dirt in there.
