P.S. I had that.... The voltage from the alternator was feeding back to the excite wire, had to install a kill-switch.... changed to a diode.

Three options, LED tail lights, High level LED strip , Nodding Dog ( red Led.)
two of which only need a couple of thin wires to the brake light wiring connectors...

" Does anyone know if a faulty servo could cause the brakes to stick on ever so slightly? "
Yes, especially the way it's mounted , air can be trapped in the air control valve ,

No doubt if you buy one and remove the sticky label it will tell you...
and then you can tell us and we can purchase them from the local Maplins ( demised ) for 50p each...

Re: Oil leak
Oil pressure, that's normal, higher pressure when the oil is cold ( thicker) , and higher pressure when the pump ( engine) is running faster...
As for oil loss due to poor crankcase breathing..that's a longer subject.

Re: Electric Morris Minor
I have no problems with electric cars, their technology is wonderful and in ten or twenty years I will probably have no problem with their battery technology either but what I'm not happy with is loss of Historic status , Road Fund licence or MOT compliance..

Re: Break light switch removal, stuck
When replacing make sure you don't get left with an air bubble in this leg. It will no bleed out in my experience and causes spongy brakes. You can get an assistant to gently push down on thr brakes to ensure the union is full while refitting ... or with a "dropper" , apply a little brake ...
