  1. Hey, I've got a 1.7 sdi Diesel lupo 2000 plate. Recently the reverse gear just refuses to work, all the other gears are perfectly fine, I can pop the reverse into gear and it'll shift back a few inches then either jump out or make a horrible crunching noise, I've taken it to a mechanic and by force he can reverse it back normally but the car sounds terrible because you can hear it wanting to push the reverse gear out. My mechanic as quoted me £1500 for a new gearbox! Or I have to find a second hand one, all in all inc labour I'm looking at around £800 and there's no guarantee the gearbox will work as its second hand... i went to a local mechanic and told them my problem and they said it sounds like a broken reverse linkage? Never heard of something like that but inc labour it's £150..if that's the case. I'm going to book my car in but I'm worried they'll cause more issues then I have, love my lupo but it's a 2000 plate and I don't really want to spend almost 2k on a gearbox. does it sound broken? Or a link breakage? Am I being ripped off? Sorry for such the long post but it's becoming impossible to drive the car without reversing, I have to roll out of my drive -__-. Any advice would be great! thanks!
  2. Hello, I was wondering if anyone had the knowledge to help me. I had my gearbox reconditioned as it started making a whining noise & was most likely soon to go. After I got it reconditioned I drove it for 1500 miles and my gearbox went completely, A garage has just put another gearbox in and everything is fine, runs through all the gears fine, But when i try and put it in reverse it is extremely hard to get in, It feels like its hitting a wall, I have to push it towards second and then push it up, And when I take it out it is very stiff and is very hard to get out & end up in 2nd gear once its out instead of neutral. When its in reverse it drives fine! Its just getting it in and out! Sorry if its not the best explanation, help would be appreciated. Regards - Ralph
