Not sure on the details but it's a 1992 200TDi with a five speed box. Reverse is to the left and forward, next to first. The first time it happened I tried pushing the bloody thing a few feet backwards and also pumped the clutch a bit before it went in. The second time, it just went in with a...

I lost reverse while parking on the High Street today. Well I say I lost it, but the problem was that the gearstick wouldn't go past the gate. It came up against the stop but simply wouldn't go into gear. It was like there there just wasn't a gear in that position. Normally the stick just slides...
