Thanks for the reply.
I think it will be the second option; I understand you couldn't make these adjustments yourself. I'll have to go back to the dealership
@Manuel4x4 Assuming you have confirmed there is nothing fouling the selector lever it's fairly straightforward to adjust the linkage. It is something you could do yourself if you're mechanically inclined - especially if a trip back to your dealer is not convenient. There are four trim panels to remove and install but they're simple enough to do. I've included the Remove and Install (R&I) instructions below.
Take note of the ball socket adjustment for the High-Low selector. If you're having difficulty getting Low range you may need to do a <clockwise adjustment> Do one turn at a time then check. Keep count of the # of turns you make and the direction so you can go back the the start point if you completely mess it up!
Ineos don't provide an orientation so I would assume clockwise to be winding the ball socket further onto the cable end, i.e. it's a right-hand thread. After you get Low range engagement working ensure you check that High range engagement is still ok.
Trim panel removal in order. Reverse order to refit.
