Went start the GT6 tonight as it was the local Club Triumph Meeting at Potters Mytchet. Turned the ignition on and no ignition light turned the key and nothing. Put the battery on charge and it wouldn't take any charge at all. High Quality Bosch battery as well none of your cheap crap....
Oh well the good news is it's only 18 months old so under warranty. And in fact the last one failed under warranty and Costco gave me my money back with no quibble and I bought a new one there with a fresh warranty. Hopefully it'll be the same this time around. If it goes on like this I could have batteries for life under guarantee like the old Samson Bartteries that BL used to do! I used to have one of those but Unipart stopped honouring the battery for life garuantee around the time Rover went bust which is why I ended up buying a Bosch one from Costco in the first place.
My Trials and Tribulations with My GT6, on my Suzuki T500 and previous antics in my Dolomite (now sold)
About Me
- Andy Cook
- Fleet, Hampshire, United Kingdom
- I've owned the same Triumph GT6 since 1988. A 71 Rotoflex model, over the years I've replaced nearly every mechanical component and I've had some major body work done. I'm a firm believer in using my car,I've driven it to Europe sveral times visiting Holland, France, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg and Switzerland. I've also completed the Club Triumph Round Britain Run in it twice and got as far as John O'Groats a 3rd time. Prior to owning the GT6 I owned a '76 1500 Spitfire and a '76 Dolomite 1850. In 2013 I expanded my collection of Triumphs by adding a Dolomite 1500hl with overdrive, which I subsequently sold back to one of it's previous owners, my mate Darren in 2021. I'm an active member and club official of both the TSSC and Club Triumph holding the post of TSSC GT6 Register Secretary and Club Triumph Area Group rep for North Hampshire. I've now re-entered the field of biking having purchased a 1975 Suzuki T500 2 stroke twin after a break of 35 years from two wheels
