Now starting to move my A7 Ruby.
When selecting reverse after applying the brakeĀ
Is it normal not to be able to release the brake.
Just thought I would ask.
My previous post refers to the handbrake

As above no- but do you mean the gear lever is in the way of the handbrake lever or something else ?

This is a common issue if the gear stick has a lot of play in it - bringing it up and over, into reverse, can trap the handbrake and cause the problem you mention.

Thanks Ruairdh
This is exactly the situation
Not a lot of play in either gear lever or handbrake.
A bit of a puzzle
