    Look at the thumbnail earlier in thread, that is exactly how it should look.

    Yeah, I've seen the thumbnail and the looked at a spare (link below), but the problem is that I can't seem to be able to pull it all the way out. I must of broken something somewhere, when I twisted it, but can't figure out what.

    Does the white 'stalk' slot into something? Does it move when the 'trigger' is pulled.

    If someone can help with these questions, I might be able to figure it out. (I may have just dislodged something in the 'trigger' rather than damaged the stalk or vice versa)

    The slot in the actual lever (the tube that stays behind) is where the piece you heard snap engages and stops it turning. The white rod that goes down the centre of the tube engages in something at the bottom, which is why you need it in park when removing. In other positions it's engaged into the mech and won't come off (witt break off the white rod though). It's the same as a D2 (except for the release button), someone had a thread where they fitted some D3 bits to theirs.

    As they say, pull hard. I dented the roof lining when mine finally came off, and thats after twisting and breaking it. On the plus side, broken it still works, just has a slight movement. Benefit, replace and being round rather than the D3 design, I twisted inbto a confortable position and injected some sikaflex up under the handle. Solved.

    Big thanks to Nick at Maroochydore Landrover!

    Still not quite sure what had broken, but after breaking the trigger off and leaving the white stalk behind, he was able to 'tease' the stalk out with a bit of twisting and brute force.

    New 'knob' fitted and old knob (me) happy.

    Many thanks again.
