Both bloody motors gone at once, and wont respond to the usual wd40 and cajoling. So im looking for som replacement parts, for now they are wound up perminently.

I believe there is an adaptor so either the round or the square will do.

I know rimmerbros sells them, but I thought i'd ask here first as to be a bit more social.

Hi mate

You definitely sure its the motors as its a bit unusual for them both to pack up at the same time.

If needed i have a working one in good condition that you can have for a donation to the BBWF charity fund...smile

Both gone at the same time? that's a bit spooky? lost both on the TR7 Back in the day and it was a diode. only popped up on flash. could be further down the line. The main head light switch on mine is a bit dodgy and sometimes needs a couple of goes?

And on most models the Up/Down relay is a single point of failure for both motors...

Me too, I'd suspect that relay, the wiring, power/earth feed to it (at least one feed is via diode) first, before the motors.

Try substituting a matching (5 pin) relay....(or swapping them around, but only the 5 pin ones)
