"I can't let you do that, Dave"

I arrived at work this morning and turned off the car and noticed the ignition light shining at me in a very HAL-esque manner. I popped the bonnet and opened the voltage regulator and had to physically flick the cut-out back to the open position which put the light out. I then re-started the car and had to rev the engine significantly more than usual to get the cut-out to operate. I will clean the contacts etc when I get the chance but does anyone else have any suggestions to sort this out?

Get a new regulator??
Cleaning and resetting as per Manual should fix it. But worth watching, because the reverse current is not insignificant and will quickly drain the battery/overheat the dynamo and possibly damage the wiring......

Great clip!
I don't think a dynamo that isn't charging is quite as serious though

I cant believe someone hasnt seen this film a great classic sci-fi, and still can hold its head high in the days of cgi

Never seen it - sorry.... All seems a bit unbelievable to me from that clip.... I have watched The Railway Children a couple of times !

It's science fiction, very good film but may well not be to your taste, it's in colour and everything

That's roughly when it was released! Well 1968 to be precise. So surprised it was a mystery. It stands the test of time. I suppose some haven't seen it in the same way as not everyone has read certain milestones in literature.
