On cold start-up gear stick is loose to waggle about, after about 30 minutes warm up very difficult to move gear stick about - like stirring treacle.

Any ideas please?

I have the same thing, but not all the time. Its not "very" difficult, but noticebly tighter after a longish run. I have done a search, and couldn't find a deffinative answer. Someone suggested running some oil down the gearstick, which I havn't tried yet.
 
Try changing the Gearbox Oil.

When I firt got my Disco 2 it was the same after a long run, the Local Dealer told me there was nothing they could do it a Disco thing (only took it there as it was under warranty). Changed the oil myself and it was like a different gearbox.

Funnily enough, mine has only done this since changing gear box oil. I used MTF Spec oil from Land Rover..:confused:
 
if oil change doesnt help ,you can get at lower gear stick and top by removing consol ,you want to be looking at bush in top and bush and ball in selector yoke below
 
Thanks for these responses, I've decided to change the oil and I will let you know the outcome!
