Limped it to the garage this morning.
Could only select 3rd gear, but luckily traffic was light and I managed to limp it through every junction without having to stop!
Lets see if I get it back at the end of the day in working condition, I have a nagging feeling that I wont.....
Piece of pi$$ Alex. Could only select 3rd gear, but luckily traffic was light and I managed to limp it through every junction without having to stop!

Its the gear selector under the gearstick sleeve. The plastic snaps and lets the arm move. open it up and you'll see a bar running at in parallel to the dash which can be forced side to side (only when broken).
Good news is its and easy fix. Bad news is the part only sells the whole plastic turret, which is bolted to the floor, and the bolts are under the cat to release the turret. Basically its and easy, but not cheap repair
Mine went on my V6.
Great thread here A lex. I think most people would have given up on the car and got rid when you've kept it.
YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW MUCH THAT LITTLE LOT COST (and repeated use) made me laugh out loud, I've had to explain why now to those around me
What's the mileage at now, 160k ish miles? That's pretty good

I've just read the whole of this thread - good going keeping with it, I think many would have given up long ago.
My Dad was all set to get an Alfa Spider a few years back, but his mate who ran an Alfa dealership refused to sell him one, for the reasons apparent in this thread. There's still something that makes me want one though, or possibly a GTV.
When I was at MUAC I was dreading importing my car from Luxembourg into the Netherlands, but ended up writing it off instead. Before I replaced it I had my training terminated and moved back to the UK, so managed to dodge that PITA.
