Hi,
My 95 punto wont go into gear anymore, at least when the engine is
running. When the engine is off, all the gears are available, however
when the engine is ticking over the gearstick wont let me engage the
gears.

Any idea?
Thanks!
Stephen.

The clutch has probably stopped working. Put it in gear with the engine off,
push clutch down, push brake hard, start car. What happened?

Yup. Sounds like the clutch to me. If it is, no doubt you get a grating
noise when you try to engage gear with the engine running.

I'll try that first test when I get home today.
when the engine is running I cant even get close to getting it into
gear.

Hydraulic too, aren't they? Check it's got fluid before anything else.
