In fact I put up a thread about it last week - usual reply is gear cables not that i'm for a minute disputing this but alot of the time with these vans or perhaps any vehicle, it seems theres more than one answer to a problem and you then get into replacing one bit after another until you hit it lucky and fix the problem, well thats the way I see it anyway My way of thinking is this issue about 1st gear not quite engaging is a very specific problem as i've read about it many times but to date I havnt read anywhere of someone who has had that problem, fixed it and reported back with exactly what they did and until that happens I'm loathe to start changing all sorts of bits with no gaurentee that it'll fix it..
just trying to help your thread along pmc
I would hate to run a repair garage
a crystal ball would be nice I suppose
