Its your parking pin. Pull the parking brake harder and/or park on level surfaces. Also, when parking, put the car in N, pull parking brake, release brake pedal, put in P - this puts all the weight on the brakes, not your parking pin.

I did question how "recoding" could fix a metallic pinging noise!!!!! I only park on flat, both at work and at home and I've tried some of the variations you mentioned i.e. try to pull parking brake as far as possible, go to D then N then R, but still makes the noise. I did mention to them when I rang up to book it in and when dropping it off that I believed it to be an issue with the parking pin mechanism. Lets see what they come back with. I'll be amazed if it's something to do with the computer. And I don't want it back until it's fixed!!!!!
