Aha. Bleeding Obvious! I could just as well be Old Person. And it still says Blathers on a lot".

It would appear to be an alarm of sorts, if you email these people with the numbers I'm sure they can help Avonwood

The fact it was found 400 metres away suggests that the thieves were probably seeing if it had a tracker fitted.

We've had a few high value cars parked in fields and down country lanes around here. Presumably, the idea is that the thieves check on them every couple of hours/days and if they are discovered and returned in short order then they probably had a tracker fitted!

Thanks - want to keep the 'old school' hubcap look as per the link.

Not sure I would take my M3W back to that dealer

Atalante83, thank you.

But they perform a useful task, look nice and do not fall off, unlike those silly rubber tips.

The way I look at the "We won't make any difference" argument is that it is like saying, "Because many people do a lot more shoplifting than I do, then it is OK for me to do a little bit of shoplifting".

Bring back Irn Bru in glass bottles with the stone stopper.

Dougal..... Interestingly, I lived in California (along with my now wife) in '79/80 having disposed of home encumbrances.... Came home after a couple of enjoyable years..... While we were in NZ for November we both said that if we'd come there instead in '79 under the same circumstances we wouldn't have come home..... My great nephew is a joiner and went out to work on the rebuild of Christchurch.... Met a local lass and we won't see him back again.... Cracking place!

I've lived in Aberdeenshire for 30 years for much the same reasons.... Down South is far too crowded.... Saying that, it's creeping up here but hopefully not in too intrusive a way in the time I have left..... I live in the 'Aberdeen-Elgin-Fraserburgh Triangle'.. Not really part of any tourist trail so still rural and relatively quiet.... Suits me down to the ground.

I have a list of trips once the Morgan restoration is finished... Living here you just have to be hardy if you want an open car. :-)

Was fine to see such a pretty Morgan in the wild during our trip.

Doug, thanks for the heads up on the part numbers, that will save a bit of searching, if/when I prove the switch to be at fault.

Richard, as you suggest the oil pressure switch is indeed a single pole two way unit incorporated as part of a safety circuit, designed in this case to cut out the fuel pump in the case of an accident. and in the case of my Morgan it seems one of the internal two switching actions has failed... I have yet to crawl under and confirm that the normally closed (N.C.) connection has failed, and that failure deprives the fuel pump of electrical supply while the ignition key switch is being held in the START position.

I did attempt a description of the circuit wiring for those who may be mystified by wiring diagrams though I am not at my best at 04:00hrs in the morning.

If anyone wants to kick the operational objectives and failures around a bit more to gain understanding, just SHOUT..
