Thanks my friend no I don't like medalling with things I'm not sure on in case I make it worse I'm annoyed because I had it in vauxhall 3 times and I'm selling the car soon and I don't want to sell it like this ,thanks for your time and trouble best wishes Craig.

Hi Craig

If you look in the hand book, it will say when putting in to reverse gear, you will need to wait 3 seconds before actually trying to engage the gear..

Hope this helps.
