- Maybe the starter is jammed. Put a wrench on the square end protruding from the starter and try to turn it. Or put the car in 4th gear, E brake off and rock it. You will hear the starter disengage. F

- You may want to check the control box (voltage regulator). I had a similar problem when I first got my car, and it was very easy (and free, the best price) to fix. In my BMC Workshop Manual the direc
