On your 3 speed system that means that one of your motor brushes has worn to the extent that it is no longer making contact with the commutator. If you're technically minded and find a cost-effective repair attractive, you can buy a set of new brushes for about £20 from here (ignore the incorrect reference to 'heater'). These were developed with input from me and fellow club member Greeners and I have some fitted to my car.

For a pictorial fitting guide, search under club member Arctic.

Is it basically plug and play for a swap to a two speed one?
Yes, but much more expensive and if it comes with a standard 'silver' resistor you'll need to change it to a 'gold' one for long term reliability.

By the way Russ, looking at your location and job, do you volunteer on the North Norfolk Railway?
