New to the caddy scene and need help.
Hi all I would be much appreciated if anyone of you could help me.. I’ve just brought a 1.9 2004 caddy and I’ve got home and it doesn’t want to go into reverse. I tried a fair few times then it went in does this mean new box or would it be the selector. Many thanks new caddy guy

Could well be your clutch mate.
I’d check that first, before going in expensive

Just making sure you know you have to push down on the gear stick to go into reverse?

When I did an RSC in my Astra, I called both the DVLA and my insurance, the only thing they said was as long as it passed an MOT it was fine, no change to my V5 or tax, and insurance stayed the same
