I will echo what's already been said - those speeds in gears at 4000rpm are theoretical and in real world situations unobtainable given the aerodynamically challenged profile of the RP saloon. Mine has a few "go faster" goodies on it and I don't like to push it beyond 25-30mph in third when climbing. It will get to 50 and a bit on the flat (a long one) on a good day, but with a gradient or a head wind, forget it.

I'm sure you'll get a little more out of the old girl once you sort this problem, but don't expect it to suddenly change into the four wheeled version of a Manx Norton. An Austin Seven will get you there, but in its own time. Good luck.
