Subject: Re: G9 gearbox
Julian,
Can I ask for your comments on another source of the vibration? This came from a non-Lagonda owning vintagent who had been involved professionally in large diesel engines. Looking at the Meadows engine vibration damper, he suggested that if a car had not been used for some time, it can seize up and thus fail to operate. When we went for a ride in my LG45 he reckoned that it only stared working properly on the return journey after everything had got nice and hot and oily.
Do you or anyone else have any views on this idea?
Colin
