Hi all,
I'm a complete amateur however I have always worked on my own cars, never paid a penny to a mechanic as I've always managed to learn and succeed. However I'm struggling with my 110. perhaps because I've always worked on semi modern Rovers. Rover is my proffered brand. I picked it up as a runner which has stood for many years. It runs and drives well.
Today I went outside on a very frosty morning with the intention of freeing up and restoring the rear brakes. I needed to turn it around to make it safer to jack up on the slight incline on my road. The car nearly started after a few seconds on the starter but stopped, no ignition light and all electrical systems dead. Oil has also leaked from around the dipstick hole. I assumed the moisture has caused something to short out and blown a fuse but I'm more concerned about the oil leak.
Please help. many thanks
