Morris Minor Owners Club

Ah thank you for letting me know. I just browsed through my magazine but didn't see it advertised. Maybe there and I missed it.
Will see you on February 7th then and I appreciate your kind offer of help.

I thank goodness have never left it on and now knowing it could do more than just drain the battery will definitely not.
Thank you

Crikey, I promise NOT to use WD40 then, couldn't bear to set her on fire! Today, I opened the bonnet, yes on my own lol, took a while but I did it! I opened the control box and the two reels look very new. Copper bright and metal very shiny. Maybe replaced by the mechanic during a service, but that ...

Mike, can't wait to open the control box tomorrow and have a look inside. If contacts aren't releasing, should I try WD40?
Sweetpea

It's only the red ignition light that stays on so I'll check the control box tomorrow.
No idea about a dynamo though!!!
Thank you so much for your helpful advice.
Much appreciated. Thankyou
Sweetpea

Yes I looked today and I think my local club is going to be Herts as there doesn't appear to be one in Beds.
Thank you for taking the time and having the patience to explain it to me. Very grateful.

Mike, thank you, control box? Is that where the switch is or does the control box need checking too?
Beginning to feel embarrassed!
Sweetpea

Yes as soon as the battery is reconnected, the light comes on.
Thank you, I'll check the switch too.
Goodness I' going to enrol myself on a car maintenance course. I know nothing!
Forgive my ignorance.
Sweetpea

EEK! Hmmm, I may need help as I canlook but don't know what I'm looking it. I'll check my manual and see if there's a diagram of how the wiring should look and try and see if mine differs.
Thank you Alex

And the key is removed! Not sure if this is an electrical problem or a mechanical one? I have to disconnect the battery after use, so the battery isn't drained and reconnect it when I want to start her again. Any ideas or suggestions before I book her into the garage? Thank you very much. Sweetpea a...
