Firstly welcome! 
Secondly, my 12v quite often refuses to go into 1st and 2nd first time too, I think it is a common fault.

hi mate, welcome to corsasport 
get some pics up of your car 
my old corsa used to crunch into gear, it was due to the clutch cable being crap and needed replaced, was fine after that.

Welcome 
The gear selection is a common fault on the 12v and the 1.2 16v. If you go along to your main dealer its about £60 for a new linkage and only take about an hour to fit and set up. If you take it to a garage anything around the £150 mark for the whole job (inc parts) is a reasonable price
