It won't be the linkage, if it was then other gears would affected to.

Its most likely clutch related, first port of call would be a fluid change and bled from the bottom up.

Don't agree there mate, if it is the same problem I had, it was hard putting it into 1st, then from 1st to 2nd, 3rd 4th 5th and reverse were all fine, new linkage sorted mine, I would replace the linkage first, if the problem is still there, start looking at the clutch and gb fluid level

Arguably, a fluid change is cheaper, easier, and quicker than swapping the cable and adjusting it

VX usually have offers on things like brake fluid changes my Mot place charges £35 for a fluid change...

I also have another issue 

Car with the spanner light comes on all the time, previous owner told me it was code P1555 which points to the throttle body I think?

I'm hoping it just needs a good clean out 

Take throttle body off and clean it , probably all gummed up . Other thing mite be maf sensor .

Thanks for all the replies,

I've certainly got some food for thought and places to start etc. 

May shout up for help though

Totally different setup to Corsa, it won't be gear linkage and as you have just confirmed linkage affects more than than one gear

Depends how worn it is IMO
