We study a Cartesian analogy for a solar dynamo model to investigate systematically a dynamo model limited by the back reaction of the Lorentz force on the differential rotation. In particular, we investigate intermittent behaviour found at low turbulent magnetic Prandtl numbers tau , and determine empirical scaling laws with tau . We find this class of models to be incapable of producing extended periods of ``normal'' behaviour separated by occasional ``grand minima'' - rather the behaviour is a mirror image, with occasional ``grand maxima''. Further we find the existence of solar-like torsional oscillations to be incompatible with low magnetic Prandtl number intermittent regimes.
