Ant ideas why it is struggling so much? Could be one of 3 things - [a] The voltage at the motor is insufficient - test by measuring the voltage across the motor while it's running [b] The gearbox is crudded up - unlikely but possible [c] The motor has damaged brushes or partially burnt windings. > Also, will it fail the UK MOT if it doesn't pull across properly? No, they shouldn't even test it. > If I take > it off and fill the whole with a rubber grommit for the test will it be > ignored by the tester? Yes. -- Grunff
