| (2) shuttle Tappets Noisy. Governor, Control Sticky. Throttle does not close. (explosion silencer) Clutch groans. Clutch pedal seems too high. Clutch takes long time to stop. Engine has low speed groan, usually put down as caused from the camshaft. Autovac effect on slow running very bad (special measuring gauge on instrument board appears to be affecting this) Dynamo brush gear very noisy. Bonnet clips now slack. Speedometer reads much too high for low speed reading. Bonnet is resting on top radiator tie rod. Oil leaks from the engine relief valve box. Oil pump "creaks". Springing seems bad. Shock absorbers appear to be set much too hard and the front off side one "creaks" badly. EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} [Faint watermark: MADDEN & CROXLEY] | ||
