I do love to have repeatable problems that are so easy to diagnose and fix.
Went out to drive Bugsy to run an errand, turn key, starter goes a half click and all is dead, no radio, no nothing. Hmmm I've seen this before. Popped the bonnet and sure enough the Bendix drive on the starter is hanging out there and has not retracted. Grabbed the trusty wrench I keep in the car just for that purpose, twist in the square drive on the Bendix back in and voila Bugsy starts right up.
For those of you who don't have one, you need to keep a 3/8" wrench with you at all times. You never know when you'll need it.
