Happened other night, basically the car will not select reverse. Drove home from work the other night and car was fine. Came out about an hour later and no reverse. The stick just will not go in, i can put it in all other gears fine and it drives forward. I get no noise, its not been jumping out of gear, crunching or anything, just no reverse. Had a look and tried doing it manually on the gearbox but it won't have it. I'm stumped got no idea what it could be, any ideas guys?
 
Sorry its a 2001 Seat Leon 1.8T, manual.

And no won't go into reverse with the engine off.
 
Its same style as a Golf, push down into the box, left then up into reverse. I can push it down and left, but then it stops. Its like something is stopping it going into reverse. Kae i had a mechanic look at it and he tried manually but said it won't go in, he reckons selector mechanism. Going to take it to a guy he knows who is going to take a look at it, so see what happens. My wallet is preparing itself for pain lol.
