Over three months after i had a disagreement with an icy road and a tree, I had a day off to do something with the car. Replaced the following:
Bent track rod & end
Broken droplink
Toothless CV joint and driveshaft
(all passenger side)
The wishbone seems to be rubbing off the drive so that's next on the list.
In the meantime a strange occurrence with the gearbox; it has 2nd, 4th and reverse but no 1st, 3rd or 5th! Gearstick goes 'into gear' but let the clutch up and nothing happens! Whereas the other gears will drive normally.. Its a 2.0 HDi 01 reg..
Any suggestions greatly received!

When you say it goes into gear, do you get a positive click as if its gone into gear or does the stick just move in that direction?

It slots into position and stays there, no grinding or anything. Let up the clutch and its like its in neutral.

The gear linkages are down the back of the gearbox connected to the gearstick.

Found the linkages, where they connect to the selector bar coming from the gearstick, but can't see how the ball coming from the gearbox can stay in the bar? It won't move inside the bar anymore and still no first gear as it keeps hopping out?
