Probably the most embarrassing question I have ever had to ask.

I bought a 2003 607 HDi 2.0L from local garage and well, they dropped it off at our home today and I can't seem to find the reverse. I'm looking at the gear knob and it shows that reverse it top-left to engage but when I push it as far left as I can, it makes car go forward. I tried the other gears to see if I was having a blonde moment and no reverse lights show. I am stumped and feel beyond stupid. Previous car was a 2016 Volvo and a BMW 320 and their reverse was bottom far right. Surely I must be doing something wrong? Literally owned 6 cars and never not found reverse.

Really don't want to have to phone dealer in the morning and look beyond daft. Any help would be great.

Thanks

Turns out there is a collar under the gear knob that needed lifted. Never driven a car that had a collar so defo feel really daft. All is good now.
