Had a fault on a Clio van. Gearbox was replaced a few months ago. Suddenly
lost drive.

I have a 12 year old Escort, lately it has been difficult getting it in
to first gear and/or reverse. Somedays are fine, others are a pig, even

Year 2000 Golf. (But still a MKIII as it's a hairdresser's ragtop).
1.6 SOHC. Same engine as fitted to Golfs since Victorian times.
Runs perfectly apart from starting from stone cold where it needs nursing on
