I've just purchased a Vauxhall Movano van and whilst the gear change works perfectly well and goes into/out of gear without problems, the changing feels rather "loose" and "vague". Is this down to worn/stretched linkages? The gear lever is linked to the gear box with what looks like "bicycle brake cables" (sorry its late and I cannot find the appropriate name for them :) )
Is this a maintenance issue I can deal with myself, i.e tighten up or replace the linkages?
Thanks, Dan

DanG, yes, most gearchanges nowadays are cable operated and are adjustable, take it to a dealer its a fiddly job for some one who's not sure what to do.

Yes those Renaults do get that way once they've done some serious miles. New Bowden cables might help; but the slackness may be everywhere.
