2nd gear has always (since I've had the car) been very slightly more difficult to select then the other gears. But, recently from neutral it can be impossible to select any gear. No grinding or crunching - the gear shift will just not get into gear.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Either there's something wrong with your clutch actuation (cable adjustment or hydraulic problem depending on year), or the disc sticks to the flywheel because it's contaminated with oil or is warped. Try starting the car in 4th gear with the clutch pedal depressed. (Make sure nothing is in front of the car in case it lurches forward.)
