All good thanks Jason, definitely bored of lockdown, need to get out and give the car a good run, feels abandoned sat in the garage
Glad to hear, I know the feeling. I just put a CTEK on mine as it has been sat in the garage so long We should organise a south A110 meet up after lockdown ends. I have joined Propulsion Club the Facebook, it's for 2 seater cars only and the organise meets/drives and there is always an eclectic mix of cars. You should join up FamousAfroJay said:

Battery too low at storage to start, but they put a charger pack on to get it running, and sent me home with a charger. I did a few extra miles back to try to get a bit more charge into the battery, but it still wouldn't start after I parked to move the other car off the drive.
Put it on charge enough to get it into the garage and a few hours later it was fully charged again. What surprised me was that while giving it that initial charge (an hour or so) about half a dozen people wandered past, and every single one said something nice about it.
Also it fits in the garage, even with all the boxes, two bikes, a Vax, a Henry, a compressor... the list goes on!
I'll have a read back through the thread to find the bit about fitting a socket/fly lead for the charger.

It is easy with one but, be careful removing the plastic scuttle to get to the battery. In my clumsiness I broke some of the plastic clips that clip everything together !! It’s all gone back together fine but I will need to replace the piece of plastic at the next service. Assuming not silly money to do so ?!?!?Put it on charge enough to get it into the garage and a few hours later it was fully charged again.

Sorry if this has been asked before? Any recommendations for insurance. Got a Legend GT coming in March. Can't wait (any other Legend GT owners out there?).
I'm lucky to have a F355 as well and the insurance on that is due for renewal in March. Any companies do multi car policy on both maybe?
Cheers.

I am with A-Plan Thatcham and they will be able to provide a multi car quote. I'm lucky to have a F355 as well and the insurance on that is due for renewal in March. Any companies do multi car policy on both maybe?

I’m with Admiral who were really reasonable and they do multi-car policies too.
We have multi car with Admiral, just been through the renewal negotiations, Admiral where good but couldn’t get anywhere near on the A110 !! So we pulled it from the policy and went ensure who were very competitive.Simon Owen said:

I had the same experience, have used Admiral previously but for the Alpine Esure were the best option.FamousAfroJay said:

Installed a Ctek with quick connector and LED's to see battery status..For the people who have a pre 2020 Alpine A110 and want the improved cooling feature from the newer wheel arch liners (that are fitted from 2020 models). I did the modification my self as a winter project. Just order the bigger grilles (two) and (cut) fit them in the existing front wheel arches. The uprated items on the 2020 A110's are exactly the same and also cut, but done in the factory (see pic of blue test car @ Alpine dealer).
