Thank you all kindly for the advice.
Ruairidh, The saloon is new to me, and it seems to be that the clutch is slipping. On a mild hill, engine revs held steady on the throttle will increase unpredictably and forward motion is reduced leaving you with feeling that you’ve lost drive to the wheels, after which you to put it in first and then rev it up the hill. In third gear it shudders when we try to get it to jog along. Hence the decision to lift the engine out and take a look, I think they’ve been oiled up historically by an over filled gearbox, either way whilst I’m here might as well fit new linings.
