Morris Minor Owners Club

Car can be left for weeks in garage and starts well, however drive up the road for a few miles and stop the car, try to start the car but battery seems flat and cannot turn the engine, leave the car few a few hours and the battery is fine.
could this be something else rather than the battery. ( a jump start works well as this problem happens ).

- 1st bz it can do ur car has a froblem in chargin sistem - 2nd ur car has some electricul short bz of that drain ur battery - 3rd ur battery terminal or battery fail - can u check one by one - 1st chek ur battery using battery hydrometer in full charg ur battery it must be green or full charge ur battery and see voltege it must be 13.5 or more

Check and clean all battery and earth terminals and check that the earth strap to the gearbox is good. I added an earth strap to the engine and it cured my intermittent starting.

Is the engine tightening up? Can you turn it easily on the handle when it refuses to start?

Thanks I will check these recommendations out. later today
