    Lift up reverse

    Forgive me if this has been asked before but.... In my 205GTI 5th is top left next to first. I had thought this meant lift up to get to reverse but I certainly don't have to lift up. It just goes into reverse. Bloody annoying when trying to find 1st! Should I have to lift up with this type of gear selector and if so, why don't I have to and can instead just select reverse as easy as any gear?

    No Reverse Light

    I've read through a lot of old threads to get my reverse light working but I've hit a bit of a wall! I got the old multimeter out and did some testing: I have a phase 2 with the reversing light on the bottom valance. The bulb is fine and the cabling from the passenger light cluster to the reversing light is fine. I tested by rewiring the brown loom so the revering light was powered from the fog light feed (swapped the red and orange cable over) and the bulb worked as it should. As far as I can tell the is no voltage in the red cable in the brown loom at the back of the passenger light cluster. The fuse is in tact and the other things running off fuse 1 (fuel gauge etc.) work fine. From the wiring diagrams the problem must be between the fuse and the brown loom but I don't know where to look. From old threads people have said check the switch on the gearbox but I have not idea how to access that! Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers Luke
  3. Hi, Car - 1988 Gearbox - BE1 lift up reverse I have replaced my clutch cable today. It was a 3 hour job and a good experience. I have now adjusted the cable properly too. However, I got a new problem now. Every time I try and select first, it goes into reverse. What seems to have happened is that the reverse lock is not working. I have done a search on the forums and according to one of the old posts it seems to be a reverse cable issue (that may have been stuck open) I dont really know what to do next, or how to locate this cable to look at further. What do I do next? Can somebody please help. Thanks
