Consequently I have been seriously browsing this forum and see many of my tasks are topics being aired – Overheating, Autobox removal, Wiring Looms , Suspension bushes etc. etc. spookey!
Anyway two thoughts come to mind.
Firstly, is all the invaluable advice and guidance in this forum being captured for future generations of Gilbern Owners?
Secondly, even with my engineering background, I am constantly amazed and in awe by the in-depth knowledge some contributors have on auto-engineering in general and Gilberns in particular.
When I was in my teens & early Twenties back in the sixties I had no problems “fixing” cars, rebuilding engine etc. but then opted out when career, marriage, family etc. lured me to "sensible" cars. I wish now I had continued to gain this knowledge and experience.
15 years ago my career peaked, the kids left home and I worked up the courage to ask the wife’s permission to buy a hobby car and this led eventually to the MKIII I have today.
So guys, thanks a million in advance for all the answers to all the questions I’m going to fire at you over the next few months (years) to tap into this knowledge.
