So now all my gears apart from fifth don't work. Excellent. Driving home in only fifth was not fun and j don't think the clutch liked it at all.

Is it a linkage or gearbox problem

I'd still put my money on the linkage!

Still very cheap chuff   I'll get this sorted hopefully soon, but funds are crap at the moment.

sounds a nightmare! as wayne says do you know if its the linkage or the gearbox? have you had a look under the bonnet and checked the play in the linkage?

Good luck dude... Think it's about time you had some automotive success.

Temporarily fixed until I get a repair kit. The part that connects to the weight to the right, the end of that there is a hole (spline?) and the teeth had rounded. Also there is some play in selectin gears and this is due to the ball, not sure of it correct name but that part will be included in the repair kit. At least it's driveable for now.

Yeah thankfully. Although I've had a horrible clutch smell over the past couple of days but not as strong as when I put it under strain in fifth gear.  Hoping it's just calming down after the onslaught I gave it.

New part has been ordered from VW, £9.69! Should have it tomorrow.
