The BN1 3 speed system is a sample of the British overengineering.
There are several things that is can be. Jack up the rear of the car
and put it on stands so the rear wheels are off the ground, then run
the car in high gear at about 40 mph.
Can you hear the overdrive solenoid working?
If so the electrical should be ok.
If not then you will need to either get under the car or remove the
tunnel to check the solenoid, inertia switch and isolator switch.
If you do hear the solenoid working it is probably the adjustment on
the solenoid it sometimes slips
