Was driving home last night and suddenly couldn't select 4th. When stopped at the lights couldn't get 2nd either. There was no strange noise or anything.

Its a 1.4 16v.

Anyone had a similar problem?
Likely to be box or linkage?

i had the same problem a couple of weeks ago. i took it to my friend who is a mechanic and it was the clutch that needed adjusting, he says its common in these cars. give it a go and it should sort your problem

Nice thought, cheers.

But I tried clutchless gear changing using the throttle and can't get anywhere close, and I can't get 2nd or 4th with the engine off either.
So don't think its the clutch.

Don't really have time to have a proper look over it for a few weeks so if anyone has any other suggestions I'd be much appreciated.

dont know much gearboxes tbh but from looking at other threads it could be the gear linkage on the way out. anyone that knows more around atm?

Problem solved. Found a stray wiring clip wedged on top of the gear box preventing selection of 2 and 4.
So well happy nice quick free repair!
