Hello group,
I wonder if anyone could throw up some suggestions on the following problem please.
My daughter has just 'phoned me to say that she has 'lost' first gear in her P reg. Rover 216i, manual gearbox.
This has happened rather suddenly - she drove the car to work with no problems, parked the car, but when she went to go home, she found that she could not get it into first gear (selection of the others seem ok).
No symptoms prior to this other than the 'odd' difficulty in getting first gear over a number of weeks - which she put down to something that she was doing (her words) .
At the moment, the info is a little sparse as I won't be seeing the car until tomorrow.
BTW, I have told her that she just can't lose a gear, she just has to keep stirring the gearstick until she finds it - she was NOT amused - ah well! Can't please the kids all the time!! :-)
