| X8060 P/W "Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}" Ps7/RJ.25/5/29 53 WR Nice people have written to say that a car, 55-WR, has been in there with a complaint of vibration of the valve gear which is very pronounced and stops after a few minutes as quickly as it sets up. I have no more details beyond the fact the Nice people could not cure it and had no time to experiment. I understand the car is now on its way to Paris. Have you anything to suggest which might help us to locate the cause and effect a partial or complete cure? Kindly reply by return. Ps. | ||
