Piston broke?
Nope, I couldn't wind back the piston cause of the electric hand brake, then I accidentally activated the hand brake while the caliper was off and the piston popped out. Removed the caliper fully from the car and got the piston put back properly and this is when the problems started.
The car ECU was thing that there was something major wrong and it wouldn't activate the parking brake thus preventing it from going into any gear other than park.
The only way out of this was with a diagnostics tool. A mate in London has one but he's only had it for a week so neither of us were familiar with how it works. After a good few hours of head scratching to figure it all out it took five mins to sort it all out. Had I understood the technical intricacies of the new fancy systems at the begining it should only have taken an hour or so. Without this knowLedge and kit it's taken three whole days !!
I'm going to buy one of those diagnostics devices
