Just so everyone who might need to know, or search on google or whatever. The replacement part cost me £19.16 including vat and delivery in the UK from www.nospam.com it was indeed a rectangular shaped rubber bush in the gearchange linkage. I found it was easiest to change by jacking and supporting the front left side of the vehicle and removing the front left wheel. The two left nuts could then be accessed through the wheelarch and the two right nuts from below. Tools were a jack and stands, a 10mm socket and extention bars. Thanks for all those who advised on this problem, my wife is once again a happy bunny. Regards.
