I wonder if anyone can help, please?
I am on holiday abroad in France and have met a fellow Rover 75 owner who has driven his 52 plate 175,000 mile car to the French Alps (via Paris). We were discussing cars and he mentioned that he has had an intermittent fault with gear selection on his car. I have found the solution to almost every issue I have had with my MG ZT via the forum so tried to find an answer to his problem, but have been unable to do so, hence I am writing this Post.
The issue is that it becomes difficult to engage any gear, the car is a 1.8 manual. The fault only occurs on a long journey when the outside temperature is hot, and once the car is left overnight it rights itself. When it occurs the only way to engage gear is to turn the engine off, engage gear and restart the car in gear.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks.
Richard.
