PERSONAL My dear Grylls, It was a great pleasure to me to meet you last week-end: when, as I hoped, I learned quite a lot! And now I want to learn some more please if you will be so very kind:- The chassis number of my Bentley is B-139-JY: I shall be most awfully grateful if you will tell me if the clutch "judder" can be cured on this chassis: and, if so, what steps I should take to get it cured. Thanks awfully in advance for your kind and much appreciated help. Yours very sincerely, PADDON BROS. LTD., Phil Paddon Managing Director. | ||
