Fiesta WS Reverse Gear Problem - SOLVED!

[Ms_Jam]

I have found that the solution suggested by Kariharnett (and seconded by Als_Zetec) really and truly works:

"...let the clutch out a little bit and select reverse at the same time "

It took me a little while to get the right knack of doing this, but now I have, it works beautifully.

Many, many thanks, guys.

The original advice is on shroomies49's thread on Oil! here:

I am putting up this separate thread just so that others searching by title can find the info easily.
