Hi All
I havee just purchased a series 3 been stood for a few years but started and drove on to the trailer okay. It has a galvanised chassis but the bulkhead looks like it needs some repair. The engine is a 2.8 ford V6 which seems to run fine.

Plan is to change to either a truck cab or soft top (anyone got anything) repair bulkhead and then hopefully get it on the road and do a rolling restoration.

One problem you may be able to help with it is fitted with a recon gearbox shortly before it went off the road, the gearbox sticks in gear if the car is alowed to decelerate in gear and it is a fight to get it out of gear. Has anyone had a fault simulare.

Cheers for the reply rattlegun but this problem was there when it was layed up, the chap bought a recon gearbox fitted it and had this problem. His plan was to take it out and return it but that never happened

if its a suffix d box it will be harder to disengage gears when box is under hard overrun is it all gears and is selection free when engines not running
 
it depends on a few things , suffix d dog teeth are designed to grab harder into gear as such under load both on power and overrun ,but it could be fault
