Forgot to mention when I test drove the cupra tdi, I found the 4rd gear hard to get in and sometimes fourth.

Seeing as when the owner drove it, it was spot on, I blamed it on the fact ive been driving an auto recently as well as the need to get used to the alignment on the 6-speed box

Was also thinking of chaning the gearbox oil just as precaution

sorted it.

The linkage pivot for the cross movement was kind of seized. took it apart, cleaned it and re-greased it and it perfect
