Whilst you have the above car in the fitting shop will you please arrange to send the Gearbox back to the Works for attention to uneven side shaft gears and noisy ball races. We would also like you to investigate the squeak which has recently developed on the O/S front suspension. Also the last time the car came out of the fitting shop the rear metal floorboard was put in without fitting, with the result that we cannot screw same down. I believe this was changed to suit the new gear box and the screw holes are out of alignment. Can you put this right. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/G.H.Whyman. | ||
