Re: The dreaded click
Update. Suspecting a loose connection, I spoke with Steve at the factory yesterday who confirmed my suspicions and pointed me in the direction of a small terminal box behind the seat/firewall bulkhead where the main positive lead splits between the starter and the alternator. I fiddled with these co...

Re: The dreaded click
Hi Ian
Of course, but I had a decent jump pack connected to the battery and it was still just a click when trying to start it.
I agree a new battery maybe needed but not sure it’s the cause of not turning over

The dreaded click
Been quite a pleasant weekend so thought I’d wrap up warm, run the atom up and blow a few cobwebs off it. It started instantly without hesitation I warmed it up for a few minutes then stopped it. Went to start it again and all I heard was the dreaded click. Thought the battery was a little lazy so I...

Re: Bersham, North Wales Car Show 29th June
Is anyone else thinking of attending? I’ve never been to a show, but this is literally 5 miles from my house so should probably make the effort.

Re: Throttle issue on 2016 k24 3.5 SC
Thinking my problem had gone away I went out for a drive today and 10 miles later the throttle issue has re occurred.
Time the pedal gets removed and sent down to the factory for testing.

Re: Throttle issue on 2016 k24 3.5 SC
Update : spoke with Steve at Ariel today about my issue and as always they are incredibly helpful. Steve agrees the issue is likely related to the TPS sensor and told my to try the following. Check for a worn pedal bush which would increase clearance between magnet and tps hall sensor Check the gree...

Re: Throttle issue on 2016 k24 3.5 SC
Hi stupot
Thanks for the reply, are you thinking it’s the potentiometer.
Does this have to go back to Ariel for set up/calibration

Throttle issue on 2016 k24 3.5 SC
The sun was shining so I thought I’d bring the atom out for a blast however after only 2 miles I lost all throttle response. Had to limp home at idle. Tried a few restarts and it did work intermittently but only for a few revs then totally dead no response at all. Some times it seams to sit at a fas...

Re: Insurance costs
Supercharged atom 3.5 less than £900 no no claims as it’s a new policy. Not a bad deal on reflection.
