did the battery box lid or something else fall off and land on the gear selectors? they are just below the battery, if not oil the selector cables and try again At work

Good idea CG. Don't put petrol in a diesel. They don't run well. |

Wish I could advise Phil, but good luck getting it sorted. Don't put petrol in a diesel. They don't run well. |

I don't know the answer as I was thinking along the same lines with regard to something fallen to block the selector but I think it must just be coincidental with the jump starting. Unless by some bizarre reason it was earthing through the cable and it's welded itself. I remember once I'd changed the engine in my old Viva and forgot to attach the earthing strap to the block, it earthed through the clutch cable which fused itself together. DOH

Thanks for your time, when I do get to the bottom of it I will post the results. Strange timing is that like "sods law"

It's pretty easy to check the linkage connections on the gear stick end without tools.

I got an experience very similar to this one. While descending a street I was playing arond 4th .. 5th a couple of times ... then I put the 6th but after this operation it was not possible to select any other gear! Something like the lever got in stall and any attempt I tryed to unlock the lever was useless.

I would imagine its something to do with the solenoid lock that prevents reverse being selected when going forwards? I was only wrong once and thats when I thought I was but wasnt.
