| Engine starts without foot on brake |
|
I turned the key in the ignition and the engine started, however my foot was not on the brake. No lights on dash or anything. I am guessing this might just be a common fault across all the 'auto' models.
I have only had the car a few weeks, so it may have already been present.
Any suggestions as to the fault?

That's what happens when you have been driving a FL2 and assume all auto's need the brake depressed to start

You have got to be in park though not like some of the first autos (not LR) that would start if you where in auto  It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
