Mine does the same. 1.4 sport though. I haven't bothered worrying about it tbh. But if someone could shed some light it would be appreciated!
Cheers.

I did think of the gearbox oil but ive also read posts before saying it could be clutch or the gear linkage not lined up properly, i just wanted more information on whatever was suggested.
Anyway, gearbox oil... where abouts on the GB do u put this stuff in?

Use the breather at the top 
2litres fills the ENTIRE gearbox, and theres a wee plug, like a sump plug at the bottom!
It also could be you're linkage btw, it wouldn't only happen in the cold, but if it feels like your hitting a wall, then slidding againest that wall to get into gear, i'd say your linkage is slightly out.

chances are that the oil is cold, as the oil wen cold is alot thicker than wen its warm as it thins down and lubricates alot easier
