For information. This car has completed 30,000 miles. A recent trouble of brake sticking alleged to be due to mechanism inside the drum was completely cured by a very thorough lubrication of the brake external mechanism. The Servo fitted by the Transport Department is now satisfactory. Hythe Road found on examination last week, that the gear box on the car was completely empty, and this has also been experienced on the car owned by Jack Barclay. There is a rattle from the front suspension which the service people are unable to locate. Can you please give any advice. The Bentley trials car in London, was taken out on Saturday last by a driver from Hythe Road, who said that he clocked 100 m.p.h. between Hatfield and [strikethrough]St.{Capt. P. R. Strong} Albans[/strikethrough]. WATFORD. Lp.{Mr Lappin} | ||
