Hi Simon
Glad it's working
I take it that pic is before you fitted the Kenlowe

PS I like the Very posh rugs in your Garage or maybe it's your lounge !!

This is exactly what has just happened to mine (68,000 miles), I assume the fact that I can hear the relay switch when I short the trinary switch doesn't 100% rule out the relay but the mileage is spot on for failure. I picked up my Kenlowe from Jules last weekend (very nice to me him) but left with two crying kiddies when the biscuits I assured them they would get never materialised . I look forward to fitting mine at the weekend.

Just for the record Dac your high speed doesn't cut in until the coolant reaches 112 degrees C. So the high speed may have been o.k.

You might wish to offer your 3 speed motor for recycling to the members who bought new brushes (For Sale/Wanted section).

Sorry Jules I had got the wrong idea - I was supposed to bring biscuits not expect to take any away

Fitted mine yesterday all works great. Only comment I would make (probably blindingly obvious to everyone else) is that I wired all mine up (I was relocating the control box) but then I could not pass the wiring with control box back through the spars of the cowling as it would not fit so I had to break one of the 'circular spars' to get the control box through.

Anyone is welcome to my old motor still attached to the blades which I will put in the 'for sale section' later.
