bias plate 200tdi

HI everyone been having a problem recently with my gear lever(5 speed box)it would not spring back into posistion on its own and the stick felt very slack spoke to a mate he said it maybe the bias plate or one of the two springs,so i had the console off today got to the bias plate and springs and found all was intact after a bit of head scratching anda phone call it turned out the bias plate had slightly moved undone the four bolts that hold it and it moved its self back to the correct posistion put it all back together and its as good as new,nice one.

well done,
i have just popped a new plate on mine and will be putting the centre consol back on sunday, good to know that it sorts the problem(couldn't find 2nd on mine, and it was split at bottom with lipped edge broke off).

They can be a bit of a pain to line up,best to drive a few miles with the console ect out to save taking it apart 3 or 4 times to get it right.
