When the clutch went in the trusty focus (Fix Or Repair Daily) it has some kind of failsafe that prevented this. rubbish.
Thats an easy one. Your car had a clutch cable and no hydraulic clutch so yes you can force it into gear when stationary unlike my car which you cant do when its stopped. Worst of all Audi are shut until the 29th in Canary Wharf and Surrey so im stuck here longer than id planned for.
