The original spec Schunk brushes were of a harder material, which they subsequently changed as it was thought to cause fast wear rates on the commutator. The subsequent 105 material is the spec to which mine and others get their brushes manufactured. As the cars get older, I think a slightly faster ...

Please accept appologies for the bad drawing. There is a lead coming through the offside inner wing from the charging flap, (Actually a number, mains and direct charge as well) and goes to a small round multiway on a bracket at the front of the chassis rail. Split the plug / socket by turning the jo...

I keep brushes in stock, so let me know if you need them. The official solution was a set of specially shaped stones that fitted the brush holders and could be moved in and out to remove the spatter. Could be done with a piece of hard wood and emery cloth, or even a piece of aluminium. As a matter o...

I have done repairs on these sensors for some years, but I have to have yours first, unfortunately I had one member who never returned the faulty item, so I ...

If its had cells changed, do a maintenance charge and water. Or if already watered do a balance charge. If it shuts down early then it can be because the temperature has gone high in the top battery sensor. Tha high temp will also cause the eco light to come on and the van shut down. Look at what th...
