Thanks all. VW Assist (AA) came out yesterday and unable to get the car into drive. It has now been towed to our local VW dealer. Apparently, it will take a month to fix, due to workload and limited trained mechanics.
This is not a grumble at our local dealer who are extremely good with superb and conscientious service staff.

A month to fix due to no techs? Unacceptable and I am usually quite tolerant of garages. VW should arrange to get it to a dealer that actually has enough techs to work on it.

Hate to ask a stupid question, is your foot on the brake when you select a gear?

A couple of people have suggested the best things. Reset infotainment by holding down thr power until the VW logo comes up. Leave the key in the cupholder on the key symbol while doing it.

Your key isn't in an RFID wallet is it?

My car wouldn’t start this morning every warning light was on?..... My dash looked like a Christmas tree complete with sound effects 🧐

Called out VW roadside assistance, charge level was 71%, hubbie in the end decided to plug it back into the charger for a few moments and that seemed to reset everything? Very frustrating when your trying to get to work ....
