is this common? Is it anything to do with me? Will it be a costly fix?

I have just had a similar problem with my Ibiza (03 TDi Sport 61,000 miles) Earlier on had problems getting it in reverse and now back home had problems with reverse but now reverse works but no 1st and 2nd!!
Only had my car serviced last week!
Called the Seat garage and they reckoned it could be a linkage problem. Any ideas how much this sort of things costs as will be tempted to avoid the dealers!!!

Yea my reverse and 1st dont want to engage sometimes. Dealers changed gearbox oil and it was a tiny bit better but they 'couldnt't reproduce it' :(

Have managed to book my car in tomorrow morning, hopefully it will only be a linkage and nothing else.
With a dealer unforunatly as don't normally get my car looked at round London and there are lots of dodgy garages round here!!

As much as I like SEATs I won't be buying another unless I can change it before the warranty is out! Have had lots of problems since it went over 50,000 miles. Cost me £975 last July at its MOT and now this gearbox problem!
