around everything was plugged in and working, so I thought i woulde wait 
until I got home.  half way home, the light goes out.  Hmmm  must have been 
a dud earth and its shaken itself to a new earth.  I get home turn off the 
ignition, and the light comes back on and stays on until I turn on the 
ignition and it then goes out ????  I have disconected the battery overnite, 
but does anyone have a theory on what is going on here. >>

Neil,

I had exactly this thing happen to me last fall.  In the end, it turned out 
that one of the ignition switch leads had become un-attached.  I had to do 
one of my least-favorite MG jobs--grubbing around under the dash--to sort it 
out.  That looseness happened because I installed a new (old) tach.
Keep the battery disconnected until you solve it or it will be drained, for 
certain.

Good luck,
