Was putting my car into reverse when it went clunk and then gear stick went all wobbly and car now won't go into gear. Someoine has mentioned gear linkage to me. Is this an expensive job???

Not usually. Most cars have cup and ball joints on the external link rods. Sounds as if one or more have worn and a ball has come out of a cup. You could push it back in temporarily, using something like a Mars bar wrapper around the ball to take up some slack. Longterm answer is to replace the link rod with new. My daughter has just had all 3 replaced on her Peugeot 405, cost about £50.
