Ciao, please any hint more than welcome. If I solve it within today it's great, if not tomorrow I'll call the service, but I'll be in Germany and I guess it will not be that easy to sort it out.
Today I was checking radio connections (antenna cable) since the FM tuning was quite poor. I double checked all connections (even the first time installation was done my myself) but when I put everything back in place the car was not starting anymore.
What's happening
the radio was switched off on purpose. It's working.
- Engine light ON - SRS light ON longer than usual (but maybe it's just me noticing it) - Start button not switched on
Useful (maybe) info - Battery is not flat - I disconnected the radio and tried to start the car - I already took away the radio and checked all cables behind (at least the ones I can see). - I checked fuse box and all fuses seem ok - All interior lights works properly - Headlights ok - Power windows ok - Central locking ok - Remote boot opening ok - Boot opening with the button not working - No lights in the dash buttons
To reset the the inertia switch on the fuse box do I have to press the right button until a small wing comes out on the side and push this wing back in place? if yes, already tried it.
This happened to me too.
Its simple.
Its a 20amp fuse for the ignition/pump - can't remember which.
Usually happens when the car has been on charge for a while. To prevent it I take charger off the day before use, or turn lights on to drain some juice from the battery.
Tip - buys some fuses and keep them in the car!

Hi James, thanks for the info. Since the dealer guy has not came yet to check the car, tomorrow I'll try once again to check the fuses even if I am 99.9% sure that they were all OK.

That's what I thought too, your symptoms are identical. Yellow fuse on the right hand side of the box. Its done it a few times, do you use a battery charger? I think that might be the cause.

Now I am in Germany and today should come the guy. I'll tell him to check the fuse as a first thing. And yes, I use a CTECK battery charger. I keep my fingers crossed.

Sooo, mission accomplished. It was not the fuse. It was a joining box behind the radio. Unfortunately I was not there when they fixed it so I'll live with the doubt
Anyhow it's now now back in perfect shape!!!!!

Well at least you know about another potential issue.
Yes, even if I must say that (maybe since my expectations on a Brit car after the MGF were set really low) I am really please on the overall quality of the car and on the service provided by the Morgan dealer in Milan.

I talked today to the saint who fixed my car. He explained me that above the radio, behind the frame that keeps the radio in place, on the upper part, there are two connectors. The main one is for the warning/control lights on the dash and there is another one for the button (and this was the one who got disconnected).
