If the clutch is adjusted OK and there's plenty of oil in it, it's=20 likely to be a worn 2nd gear synchromesh. A new gearbox costs more than=20 the car is worth and you'll be looking at around =A3100-=A3200 for a second= =20 hand one including fitting.

I really do appreciate your reply and many thanks . You are right th car isn't worth that much but then I only do 2000 - 3000 miles a year so I might soldier on for a little while more till things get reall bad. But its nice to know what's going on.
Thanks again Conor, you have been most helpful and hey ! you are a nic guy, I agree.
