Thanks Track, I'll start there and see what happens.

Haynes says it's necessary to take off a lot of stuff before accessing the cables (undershield, wheelarch liner, wheels, front section of exhaust pipe, exhaust heat shield...)
Does anyone know if that's all really required, or is it possible to access more simply?
According to the manual it should be the MTX 75 box as used on Mondeos.

If it's got a "lift-up" detent for reverse on the gear-lever,it's an MTX 75.

Yup, it's the MTX 75 alright

Right, it's the selector cable not remaining engaged with the selector lever arm at the back of the box. It is a loose fit on the spigot and just drops off in use. If it wasn't such a pig to get at I could probably refit it using something to keep it attached, but it's almost impossible to get two working hands in there, even with lots of stuff taken off.
I'm expecting to have to buy a new cable (hopefully with a 'good' connection).
Best place to buy or alternative suggestions for a remedy gratefully accepted.
Cheers
