Charged Up – Replacing the regulator on our 1952 Austin A40

Our workshop manager has been working on our very special barn-find 1952 Austin A40 sports cabriolet.

After it having its first test drive late last week, the team noticed that the charge light was not switch off while running. Looking into it further, John removed the wiring to the dynamo and checked its charge rate which was measured at 17.2 which indicated that the regulator was faulty – so the team fitted a new unit to the car and all was happy afterwards. And, John even had time to fix the interior mirror.
