Re: Which oil?

Thanks Ivor, I had considered using 140 for the king pins as there is no mention in the info that I have and having experienced using an EP90 on another car, it tends to sneak past the seals, whereas the 140 is a little thicker. The suspension that I mentioned has a filler hole and I assume it would...

Which oil?

Hello Chaps, I have a 1936 LA 14 Lanchester and am working through the various oil points. Could anyone please tell me the correct oil for the suspension and also the kingpins (I use a 140 on another car that I have).

I'm guessing that the work will be beyond ...

Leaking FFW.

Hello Chaps, At long last we took my LA 14 for a trip of about 20 miles last weekend and had no issues with overheating etc. I noticed on returning home and on the drive that she was leaking a fair bit of oil from the fluid flywheel area. I'm assuming this could be a gland and was more severe when t...

Re: Rear hub oil seal.

Thanks for your input, I need to investigate a bit further as the car has been nowhere recently and the leak seems to have appeared since I rolled it back a couple of feet in the garage to give me some space and then rolled it forward again.

Rear hub oil seal.

Hello all,

I've just noticed oil running down the inside of the o/s rear wheel on my 1936 Lanchester 14 roadrider. I'm assuming that this is the hub oil seal,
any ideas and is this a difficult job to tackle?
I would appreciate your comments.

Thanks, Frank.

Re: False neutral.

Thanks Stan,

I'm hoping to investigate this weekend and hope that it's just the carpet.
By the way it's an LA14.

Frank.
