- I am a believer in the cut off switch too, having one in my TD and one in my MGB-GT. Not only for the reduction in the chance of electrical misfortune, but simply for the convienience, are they grea

- If the starter relay spontaneously fails (corrosion or moisture caused), the starter will engage. I wouldn't believe it if it hadn't happened to me. There I was, alone in the warehouse with my car c

- Seems on cars of my youth, in cold climes, parking brake freezing was a constant problem. We quickly learned it was better to avoid using the parking brake where possible - which is most times and pl

- Interesting post in view of the one I just sent - in which case my own solution may potentially be a cause! ...Damned if you do, damned if you don't! I've had starter relays fail, but not with these
