That's a new one for me Bob, As for gearbox oil, I alway use synthetic GL4 This from the Oracle :- Synthetic gearbox oil is found to work the best, improving the 1st to 2nd gear changes especially when the gearbox oil is cold.

I went to see Stuart McCrudden yesterday who took the car out for a rigorous test drive (a little faster than I liked) and he seems to think the problem lies with the front UJ and not the synchro. Also suggested a lighter gear oil may help. Has anyone had experience of the gearbox end universal join...

Hi Andy and Malcolm. Tempting to think of the clutch but its new in mileage terms. I renewed it at about 82k and its now on 101k. New flywheel too (thanks Duncan) so new to all intent and purpose.

Hi Charles. Very familiar problem to me on my 16v. I dont know if you can get the same issue on a 24v, but the problem was the heater was air locked.

Might be more than a coincide...

Was it running when it was last used but then would not start? If so, its the CPS system for my money. Only one of the two no start due to lockout faults that will cause this. You still get a spark from the dizzy but the engine doesnt know where the crank is so though everything else is good it wont...

I'd go for thermostat slow opening, had this once.
