Monty/Roger
I like you was very happy to transfer from Towergate to TRRI and when I spoke to Denise at IWE I understood that apart from losing the Homestart from the breakdown cover it would pretty much be the same.
I spent some time on the phone to TRRI and when I queried the hike of 60 quid I was told it was due to the age of the named drivers.
The same drivers that have been on my Towergate Policy for the last 4 years, who are now a bit older than they were! None are youngsters... 71, 57, 31 & 29.
I was disappointed to say the least. I was happy with Towergate and the help we got from Sue & Denise in the office.
Be interested to see if your premium rises next month.
Roger, I hear what you say about FJ - I know nothing about them, happy to have other companies recommended from other members.

Saw Denise at IWE and was persuaded to move over to the Register Scheme. Got my renewal notice in from the Towergate replacement, Footman James at £140.69, up about 10 quid.
Called the TR Register Scheme this morning and the quote came in at a shade over £200!
No thanks.

I used Towergate for recovery when my 4a broke down on A1(M) - I was 'recovered' to home address (100 miles) - good service, no problem, no hassle.

Hi Roger
been out of the country for a couple of months on the other side of the world and then a sojourn in the sandy bit of the Middle East - great to be back in Blighty - happy and safe in the knowledge that some things are just there, reassuringly in place whatever the world throws at us.
The Monarchy, H.M of course, the Great British pound, spring flowers, April showers, footie.... and your rebuild. Year after year after year...
It's good to be back.

Not too long Bob at the rate we are travelling :-)

Welcome Bob
No problem with Yorkshiremen or indeed any of you southerners (from a Durham lad)
May well see you around if get along to the joined up meets with the Cleveland Group.
Most likely after we have won the County Chanmpionship...again!

Cheers
you're a star!

You do have a self cancelling clip in place, and it the right position I assume?
Thanks Peeejay
Err - hadn't realised until just nw there was such a beast - just assumed it was old technology and self-canceling wasnt fitted! ergo wasn't aware of the 'clip'.
Am working away at the mo - but will check when I get back... don't meant to hijack this strin but anyone got a photo/diagram to show what I'm looking for?
Looking at the indicator stalk - it looks like it's an original.
I have fitted a buzzer that works in parallel with indicator light.
Thanks Chaps

Err - self cancelling indicators!
Mine don't - should they?

I second Roger's question above. Being playing with the horn all afternoon on my $A and can't get it to work unless I 'earth' across the steering column -> bulkhead.
Therefore with my limited knowledge - the horn push works OK.
Relay works OK
Checked earth strap to steering rack
Earth leads across top UJ seems OK
Given up for today
I don't have the little spring clips under horn button but it doesn't move about or pop out anyway - are they necessary?
Phil
p.s. On the plus side did get the washers working and now have an audible signal with the indicators - small victories!
MOT due

Greetings from the North East...... welcome aboard!

You Airfix kids.....................

You'll need to 'Bungy' it on - otherwise it'll likely fall off when you take it out on the road.................

Thanks Guys

Hi Fellahs
Can someone help me out with a part number?
Recently fitted Surrey & Back light - took hardtop off and went to put rag top in its place.
Only to find that the two bolts that screw up through the back light frame into the captive nuts on the ragtop are missing.
Never mind I thought, it'll wait until next week, meantime I will pop along to the Hurworth Grange Classic Meeting yesterday as there is no rain forecast until 5pm.
Ended up up heading home at speed in the rain about 12 noon! = Wet wife and spaniel.
So, had a quick look at Revingtons site but not entirely clear to me what part I need.
Had a quick scan around some 4a's yesterday and there were several different types - some home made, most featuring a wing-bolt of some sort.
Thanks
Phil

Best get on with it then....
Many thanks

Hi Fellahs
I have decided it's time to generate a bit more power. My 4A can run with headlamps, fan and radio without draining the battery (just).... but not if I hit a bit of rain, the wipers are the straw that breaks the camels back, the ammeter drops into the negative and stays there.
So, only one thing for it - let's go for the Alternator!
- But which one?
- What about my 'Aldon Ignitor' electronic ignition - will it be affected?
- Will it affect my timing?
- Will ammeter cope with it?
All views and tips welcome!
Many thanks in advance.

Then back to Barker's in Richmond for Fish n' Chips
:-)

I saw this - thought the individual who scraped the wing and tore the bumper off should have been murdered! :-)

Not sure what happened to the pic????
It uploaded OK - if you want to message me with your e-mail I will forward a photo
:-)
To Surry Top or Not To Surry Top?
