It's horrible driving round town now, you go past the prison and you're so scared of cams you end up driving into the car park under John Lewis. Story starts on Pantbach Road and trundling along there at 20 only adds a minute to your journey but it feels like a lifetime. I never thought I'd be so nostalgic for the 1980s and 90s.
Sometimes if the commutator is dirty and brushes are not making good contact it will cause it to do that and it will weather brushes out really fast. That are the brushes are getting short and need replacing . Judging how the commutator looks it probably just needs to be cleaned but I’d check the brushes first before you clean it .
