Surely this part of the article comes into the category of stating the bleedin' obvious.
Quote:
'This may cause the wheels to detach from the vehicle while driving, resulting in a loss of control.
'A loss of vehicle control increases the risk of an accident, causing serious injuries or death to the driver and/or vehicle occupants or other road users.'
Except, if you don't state the bleeding obvious someone will sue you.
Someone once pointed out the Owner's Handbook of his older motorcycle included tappet-setting instructions, whereas his current bike maker counsels against ingesting it's engine oil..[bigsad]
I recall flagging down a Jeep with a shimmying front wheel.... Driver claimed it was a common quirk of the marque.... He wasn't overly worried.[bigsad]Quote:

The later one has lots of this sort of warning, and lots of instructions to "see your dealer".
It may have been the change to Leyland ownership in 1967, but I think this sort of thing was coming in anyway about then.
The original handbook with my MGB ( first boatload, 1963 ) talked about de-coking.Quote:

I don't have one of those, although I do have a Series III, unlike the MG, sadly.Quote:
