Subject: LG45 foot pedal caution
Hi everyone. I have a safety warning to mention regarding the clutch pedal on the LG45 - and I presume on other models too.
The clutch pedal plate screws onto the lever and is locked in place with an interference fit 'through pin'. The throttle and brake are held in place with nuts and bolts.
Today, whilst navigating my way through the busy Paris city centre the clutch pedal locking pin worked out and the pedal turned 90 degrees to cover the throttle. Of course, depressing the clutch then also depressed the throttle. Could have been very nasty! Fortunately, I was able to pull over and sort it all out.
That won't happen to me again because I will come up with a better fitment but I wanted to share this with Lagonda community.
Please let me know if I've not explained this very well.
