i have a 54 plate vauxhall combo which wont select a gear. what could be the problem?
There is excessive play in the gear linkage mechanism. There are two kits to fix it, a short or a full mechanism. The cheapest (of course) is the short kit. Easy to fit (unless it's a 1.7 diesel, which I guess it is) you need few tools, and the gearbox end can be locked in by a sprung pin. The selector end can be locked in by a thin screwdriver through the shroud after the gaiter is lifted. If you are in the Yorkshire area, I can sort this for you. The parts cost around 40 quid thereabouts.
