The 9v that has been in there all along.
'er indoors had a hospital appoinment at the crack of dawn this morning. Mini started perfectly using the new temporary switch arrangement......
She parked in the hospital car park and, when she retured to the car, 5 hours later, the engine wouldn't even turn over. Panic ensued, followed by frantic phone calls to me.
A quick trip up there, armed with tools, coils of wire, jump leads, tow rope etc. etc. 5 seconds diagnosis, and I had found the fault. If she had turned the headlights off when she parked the car the battery might not be quite so flat.
Happy days!
The trouble is that the other road cars have these new fangled automatic headlights that switch on when the light is low and switch off when ignition is off. Looks like she/ we will have to re-learn old habits if we're going to use a 40 year old Mini.
