Hi, I’m George, the person behind 4Drive.co.uk. 4Drive started because I kept seeing the same problem: motorists, boat owners and mechanics wasting time (and money) on parts that weren’t quite right. I’m hands-on by nature, so I began doing the hard miles — cross-referencing OEM numbers, talking to factories, testing samples, and building a supplier network I could trust. Today, that work shows up in one simple promise: the right electrical part, honest advice, and human support when you need it.

What “people first” means here

• Advice before the sale. I’ll help you confirm compatibility, not push a box.
• Carefully sourced parts. I hand-pick makers with consistent QC and real warranties.
• Clear communication. You’ll get straight answers, UK English, no jargon.
• Fair policies. If something isn’t right, we fix it quickly and fairly.

What we specialise in

Electrical and power components that make engines dependable: starter motors, alternators, voltage regulators/rectifiers, tilt & trim motors, and related hardware for automotive, marine and light-industrial applications. I keep a tight catalogue so every item earns its place.

How I help you get the right part first time

1. Share your clues: engine make/model + year, OEM/part number, or clear photos of the old unit/connectors.
2. I cross-check: I match your info against OEM references and technical drawings from my suppliers.
3. Recommend with reasons: I’ll explain why a part fits (or why it doesn’t) and suggest the safest option.

Why customers stick with us

• UK-based, quick dispatch. No endless waits or mystery parcels.
• Tested & warranted. I only list parts I’d put on my own kit.
• Value, not gimmicks. Honest pricing and long-term reliability over flashy marketing.

A note on quality

I evaluate batch samples, check windings, bearings and regulator stability, and look for heat and vibration resilience. If a supplier cuts corners, they don’t make the cut — simple as that. Your time on the water or the road matters.

Policies made for real life

You’ll find everything written clearly — no small-print traps:

• Refunds & Returns — practical and fair.
• Shipping — UK-friendly, with tracking.
• Privacy & Terms.

Talk to me

If you’re unsure, send me a message with your engine/vehicle details and any photos — I’ll take it from there. I’d rather spend five minutes helping you avoid the wrong part than ship something that won’t fit.

Thanks for being here — and for supporting a small UK business that still believes in doing the hard work for the customer.
