E Type Series 3 , 1971- Issues/Advice Sought

[twjones3840139]

I purchased car November 2 2023 and have now realised that I have a car with problems!!! I am clearly no expert and freely admit it and hope others will advise me in the direction I need to go. I know I legally have no chance of getting the Dealer to do anything & therefore ask the following:- Can anyone recommend a garage in the Burnley, Lancashire area that they have had a good experience using for their repair and servicing needs? The car is suddenly leaking coolant(I thing potentially water pump) and also the gearbox seems to be suddenly leaking oil - any ideas or thoughts anyone? With winter upon us I am not sure whether to spend more money I haven't really got now or "Bite my tongue" and store the car until next spring/summer? Any advice with any of the above issues or recommended garages that you have had in my area will be gratefully received. Thanks and I hope to hear from you soon

I'm sure someone local to you will be able to help with it, I would also contact your local region as most are very helpful.

Of course any car that is over 50 years old needs a lot of maintenance and money throwing at it, thats just the way it is.
