does it select 3rd when you are stationary with or without the engine running?if it will select when engine running and not moving it could be the synchro, does it make a grating noise when you select it?
might be worth draining the gearbox oil into a container to see if any bits of metal are in there! :cry:

It'll be worth changing the oil for a few quid, can make all the difference. Or you could splash out and buy some synthetic stuff from Difflock. Got rid of my knotchy 3rd gear instantly.
