First of all thanks again to all those who assisted in trying to determine the RED LIGHT mystery. ( don’t you all just love us new owners.). And especially to Keoke, Sultanoswing and to Bruce. They all go to the top of the class. I had my son help me push start the Bee and took it to Peninsula Imports in Oakville.(that will mean nothing to most of you). I told the mechanic the problem with starting and had all your suggestions printed out so as to show him what other “experts” thought could be the problem. I called the next day to see if the car was ready and the mechanic said that they are still trying to figure it out. Alternator and starter seem OK He called today and said that after checking everything over they decided to give the battery a charge. This seemed to eliminate the problem. The car started every time they tried it. The left it overnight and tried it this morning and she started right up. I remember when I purchased the car that the owner said that he had replaced the faulty battery with a cheap Canadian Tire battery. Anyway she is up and running and the weekend weather forecast calls for three days straight of /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gifMGB weather. I guess my question now is do I go and buy a better battery? And also does this diagnosis sound reputable or am I going to run into problems starting her again?
