Notes re PHANTOM II Chassis 23-EX

1 - Thermostat closes too early, 70º - 73º.

2 - Shutters do not close fully, due apparently to insertion of a rubber block behind the centre lamp.

3 - Front Springs tend to bounce at times. Rear suspension is excellent.

4 - Nivex Gauge does not function. Possibly Pump at fault.

5 - No air intake fitted.

6 - Valve tapping badly.

7 - Near side front door does not close properly.

8 - Front Wheel Brakes somewhat on the fierce side.

9 - Slight steering wobble at 60 m.p.h and upwards, possibly due to the Tyre, as tread of one has practically worn smooth. Otherwise steering excellent.

10 - Lucas Horn poor, and as a Road signal not to be compared with the present standard Klaxon.
