Help - lost gears

Problem developed where can only get reverse sometimes and have lost 2nd 4th and 6th altogether. Nothing jamming selector, with reverse if I move car forward in 1st can usually then get reverse but others mentioned not messing at all! Anyone else seen this before? Thanks 2014 SE Loire Blue SD4 Auto (MY15)

I had an issue recently (compliments of my local Censored dealer ) where I could not get certain gears.
LR assist came out and fixed it in 5 minutes. Was the bracket under the bonnet where the cables attach which was bent.
He did however pull out the padding around the gearshift in the cabin as well for a quick check as he said he sometimes sees issues there.

Fingers crossed yours is just a linkage issue..... (Coming) 2016 RR Evoque td4 180 HSE Dynamc

Update - disconnected and reconnected solenoid No change! Checked selector moves forward for 2nd 4th etc and back for 1st 3rd etc appeared to be not going far enough forward so sprayed some lubricant around linkages. Can select all gears except 2nd, any ideas on adjustment etc? I am assuming there must be adjustment at the gear lever, seems if lever was sitting a bit more forward then backward stroke of lever would be long enough to get 2 nd? 2014 SE Loire Blue SD4 Auto (MY15)

Sorted - selector cable has a grommet on it that locates onto front of gear stick bracketry. This had popped out to the rhs. Relocated it and hey presto! 2014 SE Loire Blue SD4 Auto (MY15)
