Hrmpf. I had to take the P6 out last week in the atrocious weather as the non-classic car was away being fixed.
Drove about 100 miles - the car was generally running right, although a bit hot. Since it's had a new radiator it seems to be leaking a bit of coolant. Oops, nevermind - topped up and the temperature was back to normal. But I digress.
Towards the end of the journey, the engine would die when trying to pull away from standstill - not always, but a couple of times. This was accompanied by a certain 'jerkiness' - gearchanges are as smooth as they tend to get on these boxes, but when pulling away, it felt like the clutch was slipping - only there isn't one of course, the car being an automatic.
Any suggestions as to what to check next would be greatly appreciated. Car has done approximately 32k (believeable) and seems to be on both original engine and box. '72 P6 3500 Auto, if that makes a difference.
Thanks,
FC
