R.H. Breakdown Service. - Mike Morley - 20-06-2023

This is really a big thank you to the people at R.H. Insurance for the excellent way I was treated when I broke down, in my Austin, on the way to the Bewl Water Rally last Sunday. From the time I phoned the breakdown number to the time I got back home, on the back of a small car transporter, took only two and a half hours. I was 30 miles from home.
This is the first time I've used their service. It's good to know it works so well. Smile

Mike.

Good to hear you got home in one piece Mike. Have you got the problem sorted?

RE: R.H. Breakdown Service. - Mike Morley - 20-06-2023

Yes, problem was a new coil which burnt out. Probably made in the far east.

RE: R.H. Breakdown Service. - Chris KC - 20-06-2023

Yikes - good to know. You didn't leave the ignition switched on by mistake I take it?

A good quality coil would survive the ignition being left on. Lucas coils from the sixties/seventies/eighties and nineties would survive. Intermotor coils failed if you left the ignition on.

And probably still do...the dustbin is the best place for them.

Thanks for your comments. No, the ignition was not left on.
Tell me, what's the best 12 volt coil you can buy?

RE: R.H. Breakdown Service. - Stuart Giles - 20-06-2023

This is what I have in my special now. https://www.burtonpower.com/bosch-blue-high-performance-non-ballasted-ignition-coil-12v-0221119027.html seems to provide better starting than the Lucas sports coil that I replaced the (what else but) Intermotor coil that let me down in the middle of the Warwick one way system while I was on my way to the Austin Centenary rally at Longbridge.

Thanks Stuart.
