Out.you should regularly shift from high to low so the shift motor gets used and doesn't seize.

I do that regularly it first time the box has come up with that so you think I should take the fues out

Hope this helps

Did you try driving it in low ratio to confirm it had switched? Can you now select neutral using a fuse?

the fuse has never been taken out as I've never had to be towed in it

It doesn't have to be there,only needs inserting if being towed.put it in one of the spare positions, one day you will need it.

thanks for that mate that was the answer I've been looking for all day as to weather it should be left in or taken out and put in spare holder didn't want to take it out and it made the gear box think it being towed
