I had a problem with starting my 4/4 4 seater, so had my starter motor reconditioned. Fitted it back on but still had the problem. Went back to the reconditioners with it on the car, and they diagnosed a faulty ignition switch that sometimes worked and then fails occasionally.

Does anyone know what vehicle the ignition switch (where the key fits) comes from on a car of this age and where I might get one ? It has a 'BL' key so I thought it might be a mini, but have searched on the net and not found anything suitable.

Also, out of interest, for future reference, do you chaps know where the starter motor itself comes from as I also had problems buying a new one, hence I went down the reconditioning route. (car has the 1.6 CVH with 5 speed gearbox).

thanks
