Td5 gearbox...won't select gears
Sat here at the side of the road...a normal location for a Land Rover owner.
Just left home...cold gearbox. Got a mile or so from home and snuck I couldn't select 5th drat. Try the others with no luck. So coasted to the bottom of the hill and found a safe place to get off the road.
With engine on or off I can't move the gear lever left for 1&2., 3rd almost wants to select but just is snicking the gears. 4th won't open. 5&R I can move to but can't get into the gates to select. It's been a pain since purchase to get into 3rd and reverse at times. There was some noise from the thrust bearing when I first got it but that has died off with me using it for work most days.
Any ideas on the cause and if it is a new box or just a few bits in the top?

my dad recons that the thrust bearing fork may have bent, they did a revised fork to correct this.
check your leaver for the transfer box, incase that has moved into neutral, also check that the diff lock isn't in engaged, you might have wound the full works up.Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back
