Hello All,
After my S3 SWB petrol landy failed its mot on a million things it stood idle for a few weeks, once recovered from the repair bills we agreed to get everything sorted which involved chopping off chassis legs and welding new ones on, a total re-wiring job, getting the washers working again (even though they have never worked since we had them) getting all the lights working (even though some of them have never worked since we got it). It also had work done to 2 of the drum brakes. got it back - changing gear impossible, the clutch was bled twice, now fine, both brakes they worked on were binding - that's been adjusted, and is much improved but maybe needs a bit more tweaks. Now when in 4th gear it has no power what so ever, it doesn't get very much above 30 maybe 35, where as before it was garaged its gear side of things were fine and would easily get to 45, 50 or more on the flat. All the other gears act as they should. any ideas please? Not used it since I got it back a week or so ago. Thanks
