X.3763.a/b. Since we have had 1.EX Car here we have carried out one or two jobs which were necessary.-
1. We found that the reason the dynamo did not charge was because the cutout was not working properly.
X.377a We have changed the switchboard on this car and we have X.3014h also changed the dynamo for one which is more silent and with better insulation for the terminals.
2. The steering had too much friction. Apart from the X.3791. plain thrust washer one of the pivot pins were tight.
