Try double-declutching on your way into reverse - does that stop the crunch?
I believe you are right. Looking on the web, it appears it is a common fault with Vauxhalls: the clutches don't auto-adjust. And mentioning the problem to my colleague he said "I had that with my Vauxhall, clutch needed adjusting".
Works fine if I leave it a few seconds after pressing the clutch in, I guess then the gearbox has stopped spinning and the gears don't crunch against each other.
Right, back to the whacky world of modified CUs and cables as thick as yer leg to a 13A plug socket
