does anyone know a probable cause for an astra only able to drive in second gear without me dropping the gearbox, suggestions are ok but i feel the gearbox may have to come out. i hope not, so any sdvice most welcome.

First thing to check out is the gear linkage alignment, some times after driving the linkage between the gear stick and the gear box can move resulting in difficulties getting the car in to gear.

I'd agree, they're renowed for the linkage going up the spout. Hopfully that's it, easy to fix, but needs doing accurately.

Agree with Gary very prone to linkage problems

check the oil in the gear box first
