thanks - dad did well 
Now, I did a good drive - got much better speeds out of her. The 1st gear is falling out and I believe the clutch is slipping, in 4th on a hill the revs were going up, the speed wasn't.
I struggled with the drive way - I think down to the clutch primarily and then one wheel hitting the mud in the middle and slipping. I managed in in reverse eventually.
She is loosing a lot of oil out the staring handle tube especially when reversing on the hill!..
She is resting now in the garage while I contemplate taking the engine and gearbox out to inspect the clutch plate and see how easy it is to replace the spring thing to keep it in gear.. wonder it is worth doing them all.?
