Mr. Dodd from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 7-EX CAR. We should like you to let us know whether the 'tackiness' of the steering disappears if the front pivots are well lubricated. To do this, we recommend you jack up the car and work the steering while you are forcing the first oil in. You might let us know whether you found that Castrol can be obtained at the Garages we sent. You might stop and enquire, if you do not at the moment wish to purchase any. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
