clutch... or sometimes you have to release the clutch and apply it again to get it in first

gear linkage i think. I get this sometimes when its very cold and the engine is cold. When applying pressure slowly lift off the clutch and you will find it will slot in.

I know exactly what you mean! I also suffer problems with the gear box and 1st gear is particularly bad. As someone else said it is definitely worse when cold after 15-20mins of driving it generally gets better.
I have fitted group N linkages and a short shift kit, while this has improved shifting especially in 3rd-5th it hasn’t solved the problem of it being really difficult to get into 1st. The best way I’ve found to overcome this is to lift the clutch, blip the throttle, clutch back down and it’ll go in. However, this often leads to the car next to me at the lights seeing this as some kind of invitation for a race – which is great except a lot of cars are faster than my 1.6
