Interestingly, some other cars with 3rd brush dynamos have a 'dynamo off' setting ( e.g. Riley 9) for just this reason, but relied on the driver to understand when to use it - or not.
As an aside, it must be a wee bit irritating to be called a Junior Member on the new forum when you have been posting on the old one for as long as I can remember!
The Lucas SM3 switchboard only has a simple on off switch for the dynamo, relying on the driver to control the battery charge.
The later Lucas SM 5 has a summer and winter charge position, still requiring driver selection but a little more control.
Re the annoying Junior Member - this can be changed - but I have forgotten how :-(
Cheers, Tony.
