Hi
I have recently brought a LHD 3500 Auto into the UK -West London )- from France, and its eventual desination is southern Spain. Body work is very solid, interior needs work but I have aquired a complete (virtually new) leather interior, and most of the bits and pieces I need. A respray is required but again this is not a problem. My main problem :cry: is the BW 65 Auto Box. Once it gets to 2000 - 2500revs power willl frequently drop and accelerating has no effect. You have to brake and then then accelerate. It can go for many miles without an hitch but then it starts. Two questions from a newbie - 1) Anyone any suggestions as to the problem. 2) Can anyone recommend a good mechanic in West London or environs :?: .
I want to get it mechanically sorted before taking to Spain for its full re-birth .
Journey from France was good fun. If anyone is in the Limoges area of France I can recommend a garage (and there's also an extensive collection of classics - including a P6, Austin 1100, MGB and about 50 French and German classics)that you might be able to view if you speak with Ludo, the owner.
happy rovering
