My Sag is dead

[FactoryPilot]

Yep, the Sag is officially dead.

Arrived back the other day after a mega 600 mile jaunt, to find a buzzing sound coming from the engine bay. Left it for a bit and it stopped, so thought nothing more. Went out today and the battery is as flat as a pancake. So manage to break in using the usual method, and accessed the battery for a jump pack. Dashboard all lit up as normal and as I went to start her up, POP! Everything dead, dashboard, windows, everything

Think it is the main fuse that has blown and I reckon it is due to either a short circuit in the alternator or starter motor. So, needless to say, some fun nights lined up this week now! Great

.... a much better reason to throw a great engine design away?

I just love the fact there's a 'normal way' for owners to break in!

Well just to clarify the fault.... it was a power steering relay that was stuck open causing the battery to drain when the car was turned off.

Replace relay, charge battery and all is good with the world once again
