As Paul and others said.
I've done over 40k mls on my 3 Squares- thats my experience.
In the beginning you need strong nerves but end up with a big grin around your head!

Hi Simon
Looks like your right we are both in Swindon. I will contact Dave Owen for help once I've done my best to rectify the issue.

Thanks

So I think, fingers crossed, that I "with help" have resolved my problem. It was the battery! I did however have a moment with the engine having put the dreaded E10 in the tank, which I can categorically say it will not like.

Excellent. I replaced my batteries last year, after maybe 7-8 years service.
