That's exactly why I asked if he'd actually checked the switch, like Richard said ... I doubt something can happen to the locking mechanism/pin in the gearbox, but the wires or the switch itself are usual suspects ... not the only ones, but, usual ...

Could it be the battery?

If you could get it on a Lexia, you could probably see whether it's working or not. Similar switch problems on C4 etc cause handbrake problems. Post up the last 8 digits of the VIN, and we can look up the part number - if the same as the C4 one, then it's not desperately expensive, and comes with a modified section of harness to try and reduce future problems.
VIN 54031771

Any chance you can also have a look how much the actuator is ? Been told that this could also be causing this problem.
