After a couple of weeks standing on trickle charge, Aeromax won't start. Battery fine, all usual fuel pump whirring etc but no starter solenoid click.
So here comes the fun bit, of course the fuse map on the fuse box lid bears only a vague approximation to what is actually inside. Specifically the labels STARTER and RELAY are listed as a standalone item and it is not clear which fuse/relay array they are part of - certainly not part of the two main fuse boards or 5 main relays.
So does anyone know definitively the following:
Does the Aeromax/late Aero starter have a fuse or a relay or both?
Where are these located - are they likely to be part of the unlabelled BMW 'black box' (engine control) fuse box, or maybe the two unlabelled mystery relays velcroed to the side of the box ?
Stranded in an underground car park so recovery not looking easy...
Many thanks for any info

I gather you haven't known Morgans long. That's ok. We are all learning, most with more courtesy.
Lorne As Graham is an ex MMC Tour Guide, I do find that comment quite comical  I think you might enjoy some of the conversation Rich and I will be having at Gaydon museum Phil (assuming we both get there).  Considering your predecessors employment at MMC Phil, I too find the comment rather amusing  As an aside: I am looking forward to further chats with Mark Aston when we meet up at Prescott.

I think my Grandad predates gomogs association with Morgan, although he may have met him when touring the Morgan Wood Shop in Aberdeen.

Simon this is George and I playing, we often remind each other where the floor is when necessary No issues with that; however, I also wanted the other 'Richard+8' to be aware that his query wasn't being ignored.

with those fuses don't be fooled by an optical check do a resistance check 0 Ohms across the blades Too right: I was fooled by a blown fuse that "looked" OK, but worse: fuses can measure correctly with a meter when out of the fuse box, but when under load a crack opens and the circuit fails. In my case I ended up trailering the roadster to Williams when the cause was a blown fuse. Expensive. The moral of my exensive fiasco? IF IN DOUBT REPLACE THE FUSE!!

I can see the reasons why MMC would not wish to continue stocking spares for the Aero range, but why do they not simply release the specifications so that 3rd-party suppliers can provide pattern copies? I can't see that it benefits MMC to have their older cars taken off the road due to lack of support - after all, who's going to buy a new one knowing that spares support is weak?

When I went to Superform as part of a high level posse from MMC/TM, it was in Worcester. Our tour included the design office, and the warehouse, and it was a big organisation. Very impressive. Also making front wings for, as I recall, Bentley, but may have been another status car. And also ends for railway carriage units. That would probably have been around 2015.
