Hmmm.... last time I had gearbox problems on an ML it cost thousands to fix! Although it wasn't a selection problem.

Easiest option is to find a garage that can code read and see if it's logged any fault codes. If not then there is probably a mechanical issue which means box out and stripping.

1,Have you got the key in the ignition?

2,is your foot on the brake pedal?

3, if still no go, move shrouding and insert pencil/screwdiver inside and to the left of lever(use a torch if you have one) and you'll see a small release
button down there which when depressed will allow park to be selected.

Good Luck
