Quite, this has been noted before to be random but certain conditions have to be met first...
When parked up I press Park which seems to engage P but not handbrake. I mostly always have to press that too.Anyone know what, as mine never does it - and I’d like it to

A very quick way to destroy the park pawl by placing unecessary strain on the hook and its mechanism. You are placing the weight of the car on to a tiny piece of metal locked in a gear..I just turn the engine off, car goes automatically into park, never use the handbrake unless I was parking on a very steep hill
You can set it with OBDEleven so that park and handbrake are always applied when you turn the engine off

How? I’ve got OBDEleven and would like to do this.
Well it's your call however you are placing unnecessary strain upon the parking mechanism and the gearbox...Last car, VW lasted nearly 60k with no problems putting in park. Stronger than you think.
