Thank you. It used to be said; a simple question deserves a . . .

I'm flabbergasted by the propensity of abbreviations, or should I state :- IFBTPOA's

Forgive my abbreviation ignorance again but what does YMMV mean?

Still none the wiser. Pity you couldn't answer me directly instead of a link to a cookie laden website.

Thank you David, with all these blitherington Americans I was going give up on the thread.

A little late to this thread but rotten luck all the same. I guess it's all about priorities now. I wish you both all the best for a return to good health.

Best regards, Max.

Defo sounds like he has a knackered or missing ground strap I don't think anything is missing but knackered yes, after all it's 70 this year and it's kept in an open garage. I think the owner is keen to swap them all out and add one to the chassis but he's 80 himself this year so it'll have to wait...

Thanks gents. Everything you've said and everything I've read points to earth problems. I don't know what IRS is but it's pretty much stock and it has had work done a few years ago by Irv's Resto's. I've encouraged him to replace and add new quality straps. I'll try and let you know how he gets on. ...

Hi folks, my mate on the IoM has a 1954 6volt split screen that can be reluctant to fire up. He knows the electrics and fuel are in order but even with a new battery on he suspects it's not turning over fast enough. Could the problem be that it only has one earth strap and that's from the battery to...

There's merit in every vehicle having a ruddy great spike in the centre of the steering wheel and child seats on the bonnet. Perha...

I was in CAK Tanks recently and they had a selection of transformers on display. Maybe worth a look.

Thanks club 80. With a little persistence and help and importantly support from the club we got there. A £5 generic relay was all it took in the end.

Max shall go to the ball, ferry booked. Thank you Club 80-90.

I think I've got to the bottom of this one. I've found the culprit under the driver's seat.

I'll post results.
