Sounds like it doesn't realise its in Park, won't start unless it is, nor can you remove the key
Remove the centre trim panel and check the connection in to the back of the gear level mechanism is in tight, otherwise it sound like a dodgy position sensor switchAltox GSM FBH controller thread

Sounds like the selector linkage on the side of the box wants a liberal soaking in WD40Paul Redding

If I remember rightly you don't even have to remove the gearbox undertray to get access - just remove a couple of bolts on the driver's side and you can flex it down enough to get an aerosol in there. As Steve says a good dose of WD40 or spray grease should help free things up. Otherwise the thread Hairy Dan links to has a full replacement how to.2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate

Here are the parts that you could need. For the sake of a couple of £'s I replaced them all, but the arm could have been reused. I ordered from Brad at Yeovil Land Rover 01935 426600 Discout applied and delivered next day.
