Ok, thanks, was getting a bit concerned!

Hi, thanks for your reply. Would you know the reason for this modification.

Hi, I’ve uploaded a video on YouTube, the title is: Discovery 2 TD5 Gear selector problem Any ideas???

Yeah I agree, do feel like something has become misaligned. Feel like waving the 2lb magic wand Birmingham screwdriver at it!!! Appreciate your help.
