FOR LOG BOOK. # 300? 37-EX. The suspension on this car seems harder than standard. The front suspension also appears to be particularly noisy when running over obstructions. The engine is noisy. The half speed vibration is very noticeable on the clutch pedal. The steering seems to be heavier than standard. The synchromesh in the gearbox does not function particularly well. There are a number of body rattles. The clutch is very bad in reverse. The speed of the fan on the heater seems to be unnecessarily high. It is noisy and the force of the draught is too great considering the proximity of the heater to the passengers in the front seat. | ||
