A case has occurred on a car where, when the noise insulation scheme was fitted, the additional thickness of the mats round the pedals reduced the travel of the accelerator pedal, thereby preventing the throttle from opening fully. This point should be watched whenever the noise insulation scheme is fitted to a car. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
