VAUXHALL 20-60 SHOP MANUAL

FOREWORD

T HIS Manual has been prepared, primarily for workshop use and is not

intended for general distribution. The Instruction Book issued with
each car gives the private owner ample information for maintenance and
ordinary running adjustments.

PART ONE deals with possible troubles and indicates probable causes,
and though comprehensive, cannot cover every problem which may arise in
handling individual cars.

PART TWO gives explicit directions for adjustment, removal, dismantling
and assembling each unit.

To facilitate reference the main groups of the Manual have been arranged
in alphabetical order.

The 20-60 h.p. model ‘R’ has been produced in two types, the early or 73
mm bore type and the later or 75 mm bore type, the car bearing chassis
number R 3060 being the last of the 73 mm bore type and R 3061 the first
of the 75 mm bore type.

Where a change in design has been introduced and the information does
not apply to all cars the number of the chassis on which the change was
introduced is given after the section heading.

Where no identification is given after a section heading the information
applies to all cars of both the 73 mm bore type and 75 mm bore type.

Whilst the operations detailed are revised and correct at the date of issue,
alterations in design from time to time may render some of the information
obsolete, but no responsibility can be accepted for the result of any omission
or inaccuracy in the information detailed. Supplementary revised pages
will occasionally be issued. Additional information will be gladly furnished
at any time by VAUXHALL MOTORS LIMITED on receipt of details, and
particularly, the number of the chassis involved.

UNIT IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS

Chassis number and body number are stamped on a brass plate attached to
the engine side of the dashboard.
