Perhaps he read somewhere that it was ugly! "Removes tongue from cheek"

Me too.

I had a problem with Roadsure's quote this year so I phoned round for the cheapest quote I could get then phoned Roadsure back, they told me they couldn't beat the quote so I quoted their advert which states "LOWEST RATES" & that if they didn't beat the quote I would report them to the advertising standards, they phoned me back within half hour with a much better quote, they have to do what they advertise. Safariswing. I wish I'd thought of that one! Despite phoning them back and faxing them all I got was indifference.

I got totally fed up with Roadsure this year, they are not the company they used to be. Their renewal offer was not competitive, bore no relation to the previous policy and they were unable to offer recovery, as they said, the RAC had discontinued the scheme they offered the previous year. I called the RAC and they denied this. They confirmed that they would come out to and recover a Dodge D3/4 APT (Canadian built WC52) on normal membership. As my wife was already a member it only cost £13 a year to become a joint member. Needless to say I also went elsewhere for my insurance aswell. A good tip for Dodge owners though, is not to refer to the vehicle as a weapons carrier, because it conjures up images of armour plating and weight with the recovery services.

Will be there both days.

Thanks for the reply Barry, as I said originally, I believe it is simply not charging, but have no info on the wiring on the Hotchkiss. I assume it will be the same or similar to my Dodge. Anyway we will have another play with it next weekend.

Hi everybody, we (my son and I) are the proud owners of a 1945 Canadian Dodge D3/4 APT called Norah (Named in memory of my late mother L/Cpl Norah Browne ATS 1940-45). We depict the 1st Battallion Canadian Scottish Regiment and live in Biggin Hill, Kent. Great site and hope to meet as many of you as possinle at future events.

Trying to help out a pal with this one. The batteries on his Hotchkiss run down after a while especially if the lights are on. We checked out the voltage prior to starting, after starting and then with the lights on, the voltage dropped at each point, at no point did we see over 24.2 volts and that was prior to starting. On checking the 6 wire plugged harness between the regulator and alternator I found we only had continuity on 3 of the wires, is this correct? Any experts out there can advise?
