Hello everyone,
I am hoping that you nice, knowledgeable people can help me before I lose complete faith in my little car.
I own a 1960 Sprite Mk.1 with matching engine. Despite a considerable amount of time, money and effort I don't think it has done more than two consecutive journeys without a major problem arising. I took the car out recently and it started first time and everything went well, however, the next day the car was dead, no power to anything. I checked the battery and it was fine, it was brand new in the car with an electrical cut out. I am presuming that with such a complete power failure it might be a faulty ignition switch but I am far from certain.
I would appreciate any input on how and where to check so that the Sprite might set a new record of three consecutive journeys without a rescue vehicle in attendance.
Many thanks,
Vivien
