We have borrowed this car from its owner to examine the engine which has been running on Duckham's oil. Will you please, therefore, remove the cylinder head, take out all six con. rods and remove the main bearing caps for inspection. The owner would like to be able to collect the car on Saturday. While driving it we noticed a very bad servo judder, and think this should be put right. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
