I reversed out of a road to turn round, bumped the curb with my rear tire (front wheel drive) couldn't get van out of reverse. Got a tow but he had to slide front tires up ramp even with clutch depressed wheels wouldn't roll. Visually looked at gear linkage top and bottom, all moving and no linkage seems to be loose.

Hello Ken, thanks. I have now had a report back that it is my linkage that is at fault. The garage managed to get it out of gear and get it on the ramps. Bits ordered from Peugeot, so hopefully I will soon be back on the road. :)

Parts ordered are no longer available so we will have to try to source elsewhere or do some sort of 'bodge' to repair the worn linkage. Will keep you updated.
