Hi Peter,
The whole car was completely dead, electrically.
I had 13V at the battery and solenoid but while I was checking those I found another supplementary fuse box had been fitted, a bit tucked away, and sure enough there was a blown fuse. It was a 15A. The cable in and out are at least 2.5mm2, so I will be up rating the fuse to 20A.
Looking back on it, I had all the electrical components ‘on’ indicators, semaphore trafficators, fan and when I braked, the brake lights proved to be the last straw, and that blew the fuse.
I have learned more about my old car, obviously the supp. fuse box is not original.
Thank you for your interest, and for your help.
Kind regards, Ken
