Series 3 : lost all forward gears .

All of a sudden , no warning . I have reverse no problem but cannot engage a forward gear , it just won't let me in . Something preventing stick from engaging . Also the overdrive gear stick seems more loose and wobbly .
All fluids are topped up and clutch is good .hmmmmm
Any help please

Sounds a bit like the main shaft splines have worn down. Probably not worn evenly and allowing enough bite for reverse to appear OK. I think you my need to pull the overdrive off and check the splines.

Edit - just found this link which says the same thing
