Re: 4A Front Suspension Rebuild
Hi MikeyR, Further to your comment wondering "why the UK is always some peoples first reply, yes they have way more parts available but Dave has them here" Just a thought -- but if people were to put their location in their profiles it would make it easier for helpful souls to propose sour...

Re: Roadster Starter Fault
Well the starter is removed and the solenoid is detached from the starter. MikeyR was right it's the contacts inside the solenoid. Not dirty but eroded / worn so that the copper disc is only making reliable contact on one side and not bridging the two contacts. Will endeavour to make a replacement f...

Re: Roadster Starter Fault
Thanks Mikey,
I'll remove it today if I get a chance and have a look. I'm presuming that the switch / solenoid assembly is removable but I guess I'll find out later today.

Stuart

Hello from a Gloucestershire Newbie
Hello all, I'm about to become the proud owner of a 1947 Singer 9 Roadster. Since it's essentially a pre-war car built after the war I'm not sure if I'm in the right place or if I should be on the other channel. Anyway - since this is my first Singer I'd be keen to hear from any owners in the Glouce...
