Has your electric ariel failed?

My electric Ariel motor failed. I have discovered that the Xedos 6 uses more or less the same one. I managed to get hold of one. The only difference is the fixing plate and the mast holder. I did change those to parts from the old one , however the mast holder is too long on the 6 version, so all you have to do to make it work is; change the bottom fixing plate and drill a new hole for the fixing plate bolt. Plug it in and off you go perfect........

Hey Pro

I take it there weren't any wiring issues? Were both cars of the same age?

It was exactly the same plug, as i said the only 2 differences was a shorter mast holder, so leave that it just means its in a higher position inside the wing, just change the fixing plate from the old one and re drill a hole slightly higher up on the body work, works perfectly.........

mine still works, but the reception is so bad, it may as well be broken off.
