| X5680 N-W. All/H22.930. SEIZURE OF LEVER OF BATTERY IGNITION CONTACT BREAKER ON ITS PIVOT. X.5680 X.7880 Thank you for your EFCL/ADL5.9.30. We have had several cases of sticking rocker arms. In each case the car has been brought to us with a failure of the battery ignition, and this has proved to be the cause. It seems to arise from the bush being fitted with very little clearance in the first place, A contributory cause is that drivers never clean or lubricate this part. A. {Mr Adams} | ||
