The merged image shows the progression of the service. Don't forget to clean the cover seal. I used WD-40 and towel paper to clean the gasket and all the internal surfaces.

No adjustment was required, just cleaning and lubing.

Just to add to this Feed/Post. I had an exact same problem with my C220 '55 reg Estate and doing this and tightening up the bolt seems to have solved it. Thanks. Happier chappy!! :-)
