Reverse Gear Fault

Hello peeps. Big hello from a newbee and straight in with a post about a problem.

Her indoors goes shopping this morning and comes home f'ing and blinding about 'that damm car'.

Got a ploblem with the reverse gear on a 2004 3.0d X5 with a General motors auto box fitted.

All forward gears are fine but on selecting reverse it goes into gear and will move about a foot backwards but then seems to lock, just like pulling the handbrake on. Move gear lever back and forth and the same will happen.

It can be forced to move by using a lot of right foot, only found this out because i had to park it, but it cant be doing it lot of good.

Any ideas would be greatfully received

Jerryv
