I have no connection with this company whatsoever. I'm just a very satisfied customer who believes that good work deserve credit........
A MASSIVE thank you to Martin Santos of Electrical Car Services, Rayleigh, Essex who went far beyond what could be expected from a company.
Yesterday, I took my Hawk Stratos replica out for a pre Silverstone run. After a few miles, the indicators stopped working, as did the near side headlamp lift motor. Not being an auto electrician, I called Hawk Cars for some advice. They immediately gave me Martin's number as he does the wiring looms for their builds.
I gave him a call to see if he could help. What he did was more than admirable and deserves enormous credit and a public pat on the back. He diagnosed the probable cause of the problem - a faulty hazard warning connection. I told him that I needed to get to Silverstone on Friday for the Classic. Martin then said that although he was extremely busy and a man down at work, he would drive from Essex to me in North London after hours to sort it out. Even when I told him that I had to attend a family celebration and that I wouldn't be there, he said he would sort it out.
And he did. He didn't even leave Essex for the fifty mile drive to my place until 8pm and he worked until 11pm sorting out both the electrical problem and the headlamp issue. And for all of that he charged me only £90. Don't forget that he didn't know me from Adam.
So, now I can take my car to Silverstone for the fifth year running. Without Martin, I would have not have managed it.

If you want service above and beyond the norm, Martin is the man.

Is it the fan or otter switch?
If it's just the switch pull the wires off and connect them together. Temporary fix that always used to work.
No, I am 90% sure that I have tracked it down to the wiring into the relay on the back of the fusebox - given that it's already been the cause of burning smells and a charred relay I am nervous about bridging the contacts with a wire - especially as it didn't blow the fuse...If it's just the switch pull the wires off and connect them together.
