Smile Fixed: Unable To Select Gears Fiesta 2004

Hi,

A neighbour could not select any gears in her automatic Fiesta.
I had a look at it last night but failed to find the problem.
Early this morning a tow truck was called.
The tow truck driver knew what the problem was immediately and showed her how to do a temp. fix with a cable tie. He would not take any money. Nice bloke. Said it was a common problem (not a mention of it on the Internet though).

I took a photo of the linkage that had disconnected.
The mechanical connection appears to be to a lever that rotates a select shaft (through a few tens of degrees) that sticks out of the gear box. The originating end of that linkage being from the drivers gear select lever. Please correct me if I got anything wrong here (I know nothing of Fiestas).

Blindingly obvious when it is pointed out to you.

Best regards

Tis the season for this failure. Our 2006 Fiesta has just gone down with the same symptoms, except our is the manual.
