Went for a spin on the 'S' yesterday, and I was just thinking how smooth it is, and congratulated myself on how it never misses a beat, when... a couple of misfires then total silence.Dead motor, dead electrics - apart from the horn.The 'Genuine Lucas' ammeter was hard over, so no deep diagnosis required.So today I removed the ammeter, stripped it and confirmed the coil winding had 'released the smoke'.I centred the needle, refitted it and connected the ring tags to one terminal.I think that's going to be the full extent of the fix, unless someone knows of a source of good quality ammeters?
