I've just acquired a 1936 Ulster having no experience of pre-war cars and I have number of queries for which any advice would be welcome.
1. the car jumps out of first gear, which I was told is normal. Is this actually the case and if not does it indicate significant wear in the gearbox ? 2. the car judders violently in reverse; clutch problems or engine mountings ? 3. what are the correct tyre pressures ? 4. does anyone produce copies of the original owners manual or something similar ?
I think that's enough for now, though I'm sure there'll be more. All help gratefully received.
