    Got a problem with my car (Toyota Aygo). It's not an old car - done about 24,000 miles.

    It doesn't want to go in gear. It's a real effort to shift it from gear to gear, feels like I have to really force it, particularly first.

    Can't get it to a garage today, so I wondered if it's likely to be a quick fix problem, or if the gearbox is damaged? Any ideas?

    take it to the scrap yard and then buy another...or get someone to burn it out in wombwell woods...... i am sure some crackhead will do it for a score.

    you'll probably find your hand bag wedged there
