Thanks John, very useful, wish I had your expertise at doing the work! Another possibility that comes to mind is replacing the BW35 gearbox with a four speed autobox, i've been told there is a company in Brum which specialises in doing this to uneconomical 3 speed autos. Another possibility would be to change the rear axle ratio, I know there were a variety fitted to 164s, quite why I don't know.
Will post some pics when the b**&%$ers finish the work on it at the garage! I was hoping to get a couple of weeks driving in before the arctic conditions start.....
