1. CAISE:
(i ) The cylirrder cap nut (l) insufficiently screned r4r thereby preventing
the piston valve ajsc (J) from naking contact with the raised face
of the strajner plate (B), and. aJso allowing.oil to fird its rvay
past the two s t r a i n e r p l a t e Joint vasbers ( l i ) .
(i. ) Foreign matter on oil sealirg face of the piston valve disc and
the strainer p1ate.
(i:i) T h e s p r . r ao v e r p o r t i o n o f t h e p i s t o n v a l , v e r h i c h r e t a i n s t h e p i s t o n
valve d.isc (l) in position naking contact with the face of the
strainer plate (B), tfrus preventing the disc fron nakirrg contact nith
tbe raised portion of the strainer plate.
2. CitsCiUNG IOR OIL ]-8IT'AGE TIOM PUXP:
(i ) Ascertajn that the punp is fuLl of oi.l.
(ii ) Yjth the pedal (t4) in the up positi.on, d.i.sconnect the two oi1 feecl
prpes fronr the three-rqy cornection at the botton of the pu[p.
(iii) Place a piece of paper beneatb the three-tay connecti-on and' note
after about half-an-hour, vhether ary oil has dripped on to the 14>er.
If oil is fourd to bave escaped, tben proceed to effect a cure as
d.escribed jn tbe followirg paragraph.
5 - REMDY:
(r ) Cnect the cylinder cap nut (5) for tightness. If sIack, thpn f\l1y
t:ghten up ard re-check for oil leakage as ilescribed in thq previous
paragraph. After tightening up the nut, it nill rnet probably be
necessary to re-align the three-Tay connection by either fitting a
ner alumin-iuro Joint nasher between jt ardthe nut, or ailding en
additronal washer.
(.r ) Should scrming up the cap nut not have effected a 9u5e, then rensve
the nut ald examirre ryhether the upper Joint 'washer (4) has been
naking contact witb the lcrwer face of the tank cylinder. Fit two
nem Joint washers if necessaqr and again re-cbeck for oil leakage.
ff a leakage still persists, then it vill be necessa:Xr to reroove the
pury from the dashboard in ord.er to reoove the piston valve assembly
for cleaning pr.u?oses etc.
(r'i) To ga:n access to the nuts of the three bolts securing the purqr to
the dasbboard, it vill first be necessary to l1ft up the carpet ard
tbe insulatlrrg naterjal beneath it at the rear of the dashboard
sufficiently, so as to allc'n the removal of the nuts, the bevelled'
and spri.ng washers. Vhile rernoving the purp, care should be taken
not to lose the three plain washers fltted between the pruT arid the
front of tbe dashboard.

the event of corrplaint being received of a slipping clutch, tbe pt=acipal cauees
of vhich are:-

the clutch.
E. Oil or greaae on the friction surfaqes of tbe driven plate assembly.
The correct proced.ure for treatroent is as follcrrs:-
a.@s!:
Before resorturg to a-r5r dismantling for slip, tbe free travel of the
olutch peile'l ehould be rneasureA and adJusted if necessarlr as follors:-
Uith the clutch pedal lgrrer
against its up-stop under the

urder certai.n cond.i-tions there is a
possi"bility of an oil 1ea-kagepast tbe
eeal.irg washer lfAr Fig.2) at the rear

is suffi-cient, oil na;r reach tbe front
facirlg of the d.riven plate. In practrce,
it is likely that the first j.naication
wil1 be a clutcb sbudder and then a
slippittg clutch. If after remrval of
the clutch, oil, apart fron grease, is
found. to be present in the s1i;ot bearing
(26 }nie.2), it can be assr.ued tnat it is
leaking past the sealing washer.

colour coding of the nine thrust sprirgs on all lOrr Borg & Beck repLacement

Originally oRAI{GXcofopred springs (fart N-o. R-4209) were used,

and these gave a rnini:nG-arrd maxirnun load figure of IlO/)40 1bs. for ea':h
sprirg at the correct assembl-ed.length of l-562tt.
The latest type springs are coloured. RED and. give a minjmu'n and

Left Hand Drive Bentley 1 R1 TyPe Fitted with

Ride Control Pump Flexible Pipe.
Experience has shown that, on the left haw1 drive Bent ley 1 R 1 Type
fitted with an Automatic Gearbox, the flexible pipe from the ride
control pump to the four-way union mounted on the frame cruciform
member just behind the gearbox, can be burnt by fouling the exhaust
pipe. In exceptional cases this may lead to considerable loss of oil
from the gearbox, which, although causing no permanent damage, will give
rise to immediate erratic and noisy operation. A shorter pipe, Part No.
RF.9971, has been fitted on production on chassis No. B-20-UN and from
B-26-UN onwards.
Retailers should check all left-hand drive 1 R1 Type Bentleys,
fitted with an Automatic Gearbox, in their area at the earliest
opportunity on service and if necessary, reposition the flexible pipe
as described below.

For Category 3A Action
MODIFICATION
The Automatic Gearbox Ride Control Pump
Experience has shown that on same cars fitted with an Automatic

Gearbox, the operation of the ride control pump has proved inconsistent.
This may be attributed to two causes:
1. Air locking in the pump delivery lines due to incorrect positioning

of the pump allowing the gears to draw in small quantities of' air.
2. Failure of the pump driving key to engage fully with the driving
gears.
This Bulletin details the method of correction and incorporates

a modification !'or increasing the diameter of the pump intake passage,
which further improves its operation.
Whenever a complaint is received of the ride control system on

a chassis with automatic gearbox the following procedure should be
carried out.
PROCEDURE:
To Remove and Dismantle
(i ) Remove the left hand rear

shield under the gearbox
to expose the ride control
pl..Dnp.
(ii ) Remove the nut, bol~ and

spring washer securing the
ride control operating
lever to the ptDnp body
and remove the lever and
bracket as one.

MODIFICATION
Gearbox Tie-Rod Bracket.
1. GENEJUU..
It has been found necessary to modify the transverse mounting

bracket for the-rear end of the gearbox tie-rod fitted to the Bentley 'R'
Type and to the Bentley Continental from B series onwards.
On the earlier rivetted frame the tie-rod bracket is to be

strengthene~by the addition of a stiffener and a backing plate. The
aluminium s~ating for the tie-rod rubbers is to be replaced by a
steel seating.
On the later welded frame the tie-rod bracket is to be cut away
and replac~d ~~th the Mark VI type bracket.
~tails of both modifications are set out in this Bulletin and

Retailers are· asked to incorporate them on a Category 2 basis, dealing
with·cars as they cpme in for service.
The original Mark VI type bracket is now being fittea on

production: Both modifications apply equally to cars fitted with either
automatic or synchromesh gearbox.

THRUST WASHER THIRD MOTION SHAFT.
A strengthened thrust washer for the 3rd speed gear on the third
motion shaft, .050" (1.25 ~m) thicker than the earlier types, is now avail-
able for replacement purpose. The washer has an overall thickness of .225•
(5.72 ~m) and should be fitted whenever a gearbox is stri~ed dawn fgr ~
reason. The groove in the third motion shaft must be chamfered to accomodate
the new washer and full details are set out in this Bulletin.
On current production a washer of .275" (6.98 ~m) thickness is now
being fitted. Its fitting requires machining operations to existing parts
which it is not intended should be undertaken on a service basis. However,
full details are included in the second part of this Bulletin for information
and for guidance where sufficient new parts are being fitted to warrant
fitting the production type washer.
Full details of dismantling and re-assembling the gearbox are given

in Section G of the Workshop l4anual.

FI·EXTBLE OUTLET PIFE.
The flexible pipe fran the ride control pump to the four way
union on the chassis frame was shortened to avoid a possible foul with the
exhaust pipe on certain models fitted with an Autanatic Gearbox. The shorter
pipe Part No. RF.9971, is now the only available replacement.
On chassis fitted with a synchromesh gearbox the shorter pipe

should be positioned,as shown in the illustration,in the higher of the two
forward connections in the four way union in order to gain the maximum free
length. This is the connections to which a blanking plug is normally fitted.
The plug and washer should be removed and fitted to the lower connection.
RF.9971 is fitted with olives and sleeve nuts and the following
parts should therefore be ordered for replacement:
RFo9971 Pipe flexible 1 Off
F.85005 Olive 2 Off
F.85053 Sleeve Nut 2 Off
On chassis fitted with an Automatic Gearbox the pipe is

positioned in the lower of the two forward connections as previously.

1. DESCRTPTION:
Co,noencirg G Seriesp i.e. Chassis No.L14T, and onwards, new

front brakes are fitted. which differ froro the front brakes fitted to chassis
prior to rGr seri€sr chiefly in the use of an internal hydraulic cylinder,
which acts directly on the shoes in place o{ an external cylinder(expander)
cperating the shoes through a wedge mechanism.
The brake rylinder follcms stand.ard practice, and contains the

usual two rubber cups and pistors, with e:rpander sprirg between. The
plstons act on the shoe tips through short push rod.s, vhich pass through
nrbber ciust exclud.ers in the encis of the qylinder. Unlike the previous
brake, the cylinder body is rigidly attached to the carrier plate by three
studs. ?he holes for the studs in the carrier plate are elongated so that
the cylirder can be centralisad durirg initial assembly, but after thi.s
operation has been carried out, the cylinder is securely locked to the
carrier plate by fu11y tightening the gtrds, Although the cylinder bod.y
is fixed., the loeds on the two shoe tips are neverthel"ess balanced by
virtue of the colr:ron of oil between the tro pistons.
The egual wear li.nkage between the two shoes also di.ffers florn
the previous arrangement. The shorter of the tro links is now eliminated,
one arm of the balance lever beiqg attached directly to the web of the
trai.lirg shoe, while a lorg link connects the other arm to tle neb of the
laadi.rg shoe. (See Pig.1). the bal.ance fever, instead. of having a f\rlcrr:m
ccarsistj.ng of a pin attached to the carrier plate, is pivoted onthe end
of a short push rod which butts against the cylinder body. The pu11-off
sprir€ j.s also attached, to the cylinder body, so that the whole assembly
of shoes ancl inter-shoe linkage is nounted off the cylirder, and nill
slid.e bodily if the three Etuds attaclr:irg the cylinder tc the carrier
plate are loosened. the bed.d.irg of the tro shoes can thus be equalised
rithoqt any attjustment of the inter-shoe linkage bei-ng necessary, as nas
the case on the pre\rious brake. lhe lorg link of the inter-shoe linkage
is stil1 adjr:stab1e, but this merely provides for an initial "sizirg[
crperation to set the brake to the correct dianoeter over the linings to
sqit the drltro. (See settirg instructions.) fUe ehoes have rather narrffir
rebs than forrer\r, to provide I certain degree of flexibility. The
sare acljustar unit is used exactly as bfore.
2. SETTT}E INSTRUCTIO}{S:
Then, durirg service, the front brake sho€s have to be removeil

for replaceoent by a Jet of reconditioned shoes (nel linings), or,should
it be foqnd necessary to centralise the shoeg ln rel.ation to the drr-uo,
the folloring are the setting inetructiong:-

3. EflERNAL ADJUSTX&]III:
'{hen replacenent shoes with new linings have been fitted during
service erd correctly adjusted., it should be noted that in ord.er to allow
for "growth" of the new linirrgs due to teryerature effects the external
ad.justroent must always be set back six or seven "CLICKS" for the initial
road test. Proceed. as follows:-
(") Rotate the adjusters in a clockwise direction until obvious resistance

is felt. the resistance should be equal for the twc brakes, and
shcuLd the last "CltrCK" on ej.ther ed.juster require noticeably greater
force to obtain, th-is adjuster should be turnecl back to the previous
I'CIJCKU. From this position, turn back the two adjusters from six
to seven clicks.
(b) After the road test (bed&ing-i-n of linirgs), and before delivery to
an Ovner, again rotate the adjusters in a cl.oekwise directj-on as
d.escribed above and finalfy tr:rn back each adjuster three iCIJCKSU.
(.) Ihe Ovrners Hand.bookwiLl sti1l say two iCLICKSI as beirg the correct
adjustnent, but i.t is anticipated that the linings will have becqne
stabiiised before the Owner neecl have occasi.on to re-adjust:the
brakes.

Sooe ilstances have occrr.rreci of brake troubles which have been

due to leelrqge of brake fluid. froro the i-nterrra-l front brake expanders.
Upon irrvesti-gation, the bores of the exparders.were found to be scored or
corroded., rhiJ.e sme of the nrbber cups (F'it. 1) were found to be devoid
of racliaJ. pressure due to being a slack fit in the boresl this v.ill pernit
air i:agress to the hydraulic systeo causing subseguent complailts of servo
judder, i-nefficient brakes or brakes pullilg to one side. Excessive loss
of brake fluid fron tlre systen can of course render the brakes i:noperative.
If upon renoval of the front brake alnuls' there are

sigrrs of brale fluid leakage, the erpalder shorrld be removed
for era.nilation.
The reooval, disoantling and re-assembli-ng of the

expantlers is described. in Section J, Sub-Section RDJ-5 of the
Ro1ls-Royce Silver Dawn Workshop Mara:al.
(i ) If an erpand,er bore is gcored a.nd.,/or corrosi.on pitted'ra

ner uait shoul-d be fitted. RetaiLers irr the United
llingdoo onlyrabould return tJre origj:tal one to the

REPI"ACruENTOF SERVOPU$i ROD

ELI.oR.ANKLEUM.
Or. left trand drive vehicles the brake lir&age to the servo differs
fron ri.ght hand drive oodels jl that the brake pedal is not lilked direct
to the senro, but to a bellcrank lever in line behind it, whicir transn:its
fore and aft notj.on transversely across the car to another bellcrank lever
il l-1ne behind the serwo, which in hrrn transnits the notion fonvard to
operate tlre senro via a push rod.
fnen the brakes are applied and releasecl, the seryo operatj-ng Leverg
are rocked back arrd forth, raisi-ng and fonering the end of the sewo push
rod, but at tire sane ti.me ttre clerris joint betrzeen the set:\to push rod and
tJre bellcrank lever pemits or0y rotary movernent to the bellcrank lever
gbout a vertical a:cis, and does not allosr for verticaf movement to the push
rod,. This consequently causes the load when braling, to strein the clerris
joint, wtrich Day eventually cause fatigue failure of the ae:rvo push rod
r*rere 1t scrcws jrtto the clevis jaw.
In order to overcome this possibilityr a new bellcrank lever

UG.2280 havJlg a seni-universal bearing for the push rod clevis pi-nr is to
replace ttre original lever.
Ihe recornnended lDanner of fitting the ner bellcrank lever is

firstl,y to reoove the spJ.it pi-n fron the se:rro push roil clevis joint ancl
d.isconnect tre clevls jar. lhe bellcrank can then be rotated so that the
split pi.ns i-n the clevis joint of the pul1 rod fron the other beI]cranlc
lerrer, ancl j.rr the pivot of the bellcrank lcser can be reooved, allowilg the
beflcrank gr11 rod to be clisconnected and leaving the bellcrank pivot pin
frce.
It riII not be possible to withctraw the bellcrank pivot pin r:nti.1

the cross stay betvreen the tr',rc bellcrank brackets is denor:nted by reroovi.ng
the two 7/16" securirg nuts anc' bolts, and the four f" B.S.f'. nuts and bolts
securi-ng the bellcrank bracket to ttre fra.roe are removed. to aLlor tlr.e bracket
to be displaced sufficiently for the bellcrank lever central plvot pin to be
rlthclrann fron the top.
The bellcrank pivot pi:r is to be smeared. vith iBetinsx' or si-nifar

grease, tre new bellcrank lever fitted. and the braclcet and cross $ay bolted
to the frane once rDore. The be]lcrarrk lerrer pul1 rod is next to be re-

llthongh aone cars will alrea{y have the unstiffened linkage reversed.
and others vill have the stiffened linkage, it is d.esired that all cars should
be brougbt to the full nodrfied etandarcl as soon as possible. The c.tecision to
reverEe the brake linkage and fit the stiffened t5pe is in orcler to eI:-minate
the possi-bility of the rearbrakes d.eveloping a Janbing action (sl,ragging), due

1. TO ]TT) CF'fiE BRAIE SHOES:
(I ) The reversing of the brake lilJ<age IBay in sotre cases result

il unequal ad.justroent between the leading ana tra:iling shoes
erd prevent proper contact of the liners with the drun. It is
therefore reconmended that the brake shoes are checked for
concentricity in relatlon to the anis of the axle shaft. To
carry our this check, a sirople traoroel (wi,tn sufficient rigidity)
with a p:inter. adiustable for preference, w-i1I be required.
Q1s lsrrnmsl could be attached. to two of ttre road. wheel stud.s on
tl,e flange of ar<1e shaft. If upon checking with the tramnel, it
is found. that the adjustnent of the shoes needs correcti-ng, then
proceed as follorrs :-
a) wittr a 3/B (n,S.r.) off-set ring sparu:er, slacken back

fron three q:arters to a fu1l turn, the tvro hexagon
headed setscrews which retajl the adiuster unit to the
brake carrier plate which will all-ow the adjuster unit
to rotate slightly on its spigot.
b) Fit the brake d:rrn, ensure that it is fully horoe and

then fit the three countersunk headed retaining screws
to the drln and tighten up.
Should. ary diffiollty be experienced ix fitting the
drun, then slacken back the hand ad.justnent wheel of
the ad.juster.
NOIE: Should the handwheel have been renoved, then refit
it ensuring that it is screwed up flrl1y hone and secure
it with the loclanut.

o:re of the shoes js nearer to the pointer ot'the
traumel than the other, then jt vj11 be necessary to
lengthen or shor*,e:r. the push rod of tbe inter Ii-nkage
tu equalise the shoes, i.e. if for exarople, the
lead.:ng (upper) shoe js closer to tbe tramrnel than the
traiting (lcner) shoe, then rt rill be necessarJr to
lengthen the push rod. half a turn at a tiroe until
1.oth shoes are centralised., but if tbe trailing shoe
(toner) is found to be nearer to the trammel, ihen the

Hitherto when it has been necessarJ' to renew an axle shaft baLl

bearingr it has been the practice to replace the corplete arcfe shaft as:enbly
anci return the ori.ginal assenbly to the Lcndon Service Staticn fcr re-
ccndi.tioning. This is because the bearing retaining collar was shrunk on the
axle shaft and requireil elaborate tackle. It has now been decided to press the
collirr on coftl, and providing Retailers have the facilities of a suitable press,
they should be able to remove and replace a bearing as described j.n thj.s
Sen'ice b,rfletin. The load required to press the collar i.nto pcsiticn is frorn
5 tc 10 tong.
The above cancels the instmcticns contained in the second

paragraph uniler rNOlErr on page 2 of Sub-Secticn BL-1 of the Workshop Manual.

the shaft.
(ll ) Bolt the extractor, 75\/T1OO2 to the flange of the housing and with-
d.raw the bearing and housing fron the shaft.
NOTE: If it is f:r:nd after the renovaf of the bearing that the

jou"rral of the shaft is worn (dianeter new 1.7726" - .CCCj" -

special salvage schene,
If the oil seal (tittea to the rear axle) has worn a smal1 groove on

RAD]O I}tIERIERSN@.
A few cases of radio interference fron thc nfiniitonert horns have

been reportetl.
('
To obviate this, a nodificatjon is to be introduced incorporating a
sr.ppressor corulensor rithin the horns.
Ihere ttris trouble occurs on chassis rithout the nodified horns, it

can be eliminated by fitting an external er4rpressor j-n the feed. circuit to each
horn Junctiori box.
1. Reroovethe screw holcling the loon securing clip to tbe inside of the
ring valance.
2. SJ-ip the suppressor bracket betreen the ring valance and looro securing
c1ip, locate the screr in the bolt ho1e, and tighten up.
3. Remore the cover frorn the front Junction box and id.entif! the terrdnal
to rtrich the horrr INPtn lead is connecteil. (ltris can be readily
identified by first locating the honr INPII lead from urder the wj-ng.)
4. Connect the suppressor f ead to eaxneterninal . (Before carrying this out,

cut off the flat terrninal at free end. of sr4Ppresser lead, remove the

FOR INFORMATION;
ALTERATION IN FUSE WIRE GAUGE.
To provide increased protection to the electrical aystem

on Bentley cals, it has been decided to reduce the gauge of the
fuse wire on both the main and circuit fuees to 32 S. W. G. This
gives a fueing value of appro:<imately 30 amps. on the circuit
fuses, and with three strands on the main fuse 90 amps.,
replacing the previous fuse wire of 30 S. W. G. which gave 40 and
120 amps respectively.
tffill Retailere please note that when existing stocks of

30 S. W. G. wire have been coneumed replacemente will consist of
32 S. W. G. tinned copper wire

Or thls type of dlstributor, the 5.gnition tining of No.1 cyli.:nd.er is
ca:rieci out on one set of contacts, adjustnunt bejlg effected by rotating the
conplete distributor body, and the tining of No.6 cylilder on tlre other set of
con-tacts rvhich are novable a few d,egrees round the cam centre to provide ad-
jusiuent for sliglrt variations in carn fo:m and rear of fibre heels. If the
engine ril1 not rrun ever0y at low speed.s or detonation is experienced, it
rnagrbe necessarTr to check the setting of the ignition tj-ning.
The narking fGN-T.D.C is sta.q>ed on tlre f1-3n#eeL ancl registers with

a poilter when Nos.1 and 6 pistons are at T.D.C. The narkirlg cnd the poilter
by renowing the sna1l i-nspection cover fron the N/S front face

Dre to the fact that a friction darped spring drive is used for

be jacked. up, top gear ergaged and the engine hrrned by rotatilg the wheel in
its nonoal d.irection of rotation,
A rnethod of deteruini:rg precisely when the contact points break, is

to connect one lead of a 12 volt inspection 1arry to the contact brealcer

An alternative Cipping system is available as a ehargeable

improvement for those cars at present fitted with the pass lamp system.
The new arrangernent eonsists of the nornal "d.ip and switch"

ln which operation of the footswitch extinrrrishes the rig.ht-hand light and
d.efleets the left-hand bean vertica)-Ly iiownwar€.sby virtue of the displaced
filarnent in the doubl.e filarnent bulb. The refleetor itself does not dip,
Both headlamps have double pole adaptors, but the rizht-hand lanp
is fitted vith a sincle pole prefoeus bulb, the pole of whicb is w'ide enough
to rnalcecontaet with the live plunger in the dcuble pole adaptor.
This arrangement has been ad.opted becauee lt gives a very rn:ch

im-oroved illurnination eompared with tvzo norrnal danble filament bulbs in
similar refleetors. Further:slore, the new refl,eetors thernselves provioe a
better d.rivinc lip'ht thar the original type and in add.ition v:hen driving on
the dipped beam, the ranpe of illunination is a ecnsii.erable improvement on
the pass 1amp, so that the ehange has less effeet on wisibility.
Firing is arranged so that a simple eonversion can be raade to suit

reouirements in eountries v:here the ear is driven on the right, and double
fila.rnent dicping with oouble filarnent bulbs in both headlights ean also be
provided by similar wirins alteratlons. The spare bulb sucplieC in the tool
tray v,-i11 be do':ble pole, so that in the event of bulb failure in either larnpr
the replaeement v,'ill be suitable, although there will be a redueeC intensity
of illunination in the right-hand lanp.

SUITITIS AI.IIOXATIC CIGAR LIGIITER.
In the event of the failure of.the cigar llghter elenent,

it should be noted that this failure nay not always be due to a
fauLt in the elenent itself'
It is probable in na4y cases, tbat the settirg of the

three bi-netal retaining clips is at fault, and thus th.e neplacement
Of the element algne, ls not |n itself enongh to eneure firrther
eatisfactory olrration.
In order to avoid ruulecessary cost to the orner by replacirg

the cmplete lighter urrit, the follcming procedure shoufd be adoptetl
rhere a faih.rre of the element is reported.
1. Remone the element and knob agsenbly fra tlre dashboard

fitting, and disoantle by screwing out the element.
2. Scrêw in a new eleroent and replace the assenbly in the

dashboartl fitting.
t. Push in the knob, and, with a stoP ratch, tine the period
it takes to disengage. This shoul'cl be 4 - 5 seconds after
pushing in the knob.
tpgBt - 9o not allow the knob to renaiL ensase.d roPre. tha+

E-aeeonas, lf this happens, pul1 out the knob and
eleroent aseenb$ at once.
If a{justnent is necessary, ensur€ that the laster Sritch

is nOEFn, thon, rith a $0411 screw-driver, very carefully
lever outwarcle the three bi-netal clips in the dashboard
fitting, takirg care to aPPly equal pressure to each clip.
Re-check release time, if nccesaary' continue adJustnent of

clips until a release tine of 4 - 6 seconds is obtaired.
lYhen timing the releaee, alrays do eo with a cold element,
othenrise a false reading can be obtained.
I{OTE:- The neltirg point of the efement coil is 1)OOoF.

This teoperatrrre can be reached after only 12
seconds engagement, eo that a tiioe of 8 secclds
rnust not be exceeded under arly circtnstances.
Retailers ehould adviee customers who have experienced elenent

failures, that in no circrnstances shorld the knob be pushed in ancl
retained by hand. This has been put fomard by the makers as the most
freguent cause of failure. To avoid the poesibility of alamage the
lighter nust alrays be allowed to release itself autonatically.

of oil- on the grôund.after the car hae stood, for eeveral hours or over:tight.
CAIEE:
f,hen the pedal of the ohaseis oil. purry is operated., a relatively

J'arge quantity of air ie trappeii irr the three baII Joirrts connected. to the
centre steering lever and coupresseil. During the next few hours, the trapped
air e:cpa:rds, pushiag the oi1 along until it escapea past the fulcrr:n pin
bearingp of the centrc eteer:ng lever pivot assenbly and the bearings of the
atub a.x.les.
REMEDY:
The oure lies in packirg the for.rr Joints of the cross steering ttbes
ard the ball Joj$ at the front end. of the gid.e eteering tube with a soft t;pe
of grease such as D:ckhamts HBB grease in orcler to clieplace the air.
It shorrld be noted that the Chassis 0i1 Punrptlevelops sufficient

pressure to clear the oiI feed pipe on tbe oentre eteering lever clear of

IYRE PRESSIRES
@.
The altered characteristics of the new geonetry steerirg

which was introducecl at Chassis No.B14T, resulted in a reduction in the
s).ip angle of the front t3res, and. therefore, there is less uncler-steer
effect as corpared. with the oId georoetry. Sone drivers nay not like this
reduction in under-steer, and. the result nay be a corylaint of j,nferior
clirectional stability. This effect is more noticeabfe on certain
coachbuilt bodies which are tail heavy.
It witl be found that an iuprovement in the handling

characteristj.cs of the car wlll be achievecl by adopting the following
tyre pressur€s!-
Front - 2J lbs. (.t.65 Kdw?)

Rear JO lbs. (2.15 KglCUz)
The above pressures will itl future, aPply to all standarrl

steel saloons with the new geonetry. The rcar t5rre pressure on coachbuilt
cars tra)'require increasing, dependirg on the weight of the body.
Separate instmctions are being issued. regarding recorlroendecl

pressures for different weights.
For cars with the old steering geometryv i.e. prior to

B1-GT, it is undesirable to recluce the front {rre pressures and our
recosllenilations therefore, stand as follows :-
Front 25 Lbs, ( 1 . 8 wffil)

Rear - 5 O 1bs. ( 2 . 1 5 KglCnz)

This yellorrilg i-s the direct result of the effects of exposqre

The colour change is very superfJ.cial and can guite easj.ly be
