Sorry to bring this thread back up guys...

Well the car hasnt really moved much since i have been locked out of reverse gear. Tonight i was just cleaning out the car and reverse gear is no longer locked out and is in perfect working condition.

Does anyone have any idea what might of happened?

if it does do it again, it could most likely be the reverse lock spring that you talked about. it happened in mine. the spring from a patrol gear box works. the gearbox needs to be lowered a little to get access to the side panel. its a bitch of a job without a hoist etc. cost me i think around $300 to fix.

Maybe the lock pin was out of place a little cos the spring is damaged? possibly its stuffed and its just a matter of time before it pops out completely?

i drove my car for 2 weeks without reverse. lucky its a massive car park at work and i lived on a hill and could roll down the driveway backwards!

If it's a one off it can just be the gearset not lined up to engage reverse while the car is still...reverse is usually a straight cut gear too. Other than that, when locked in and out of gears, pushing/rocking the car can undo the issue if it's selector/synchro related.

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
