Thanks Barney & Bert for the wakeup call.
I've driven the GT too little this year.
Reason was oil swallowing like over a litre per 100 miles.
This happening made me quite unhappy as the engine had been overhauled not
long ago (in miles speaking).
Also my health was not optimal this year, so after seeking the reason for
this engine error I asked my friendly garagist to look to the most suspected
part of the engine - the breather system.
It appeared this system was clogged and after cleaning and putting it back
to the advised settings the GT is back on the road and has proven to use oil
little to none.
Also thanks to Paul Hunt for his advise.
Barney, you made me looking to your site where your travel experiences were
listed and I saw some pictures of MGB's where the engine hood was wide open.

I still use the original hood stand, which offers very little space to work.
So my question is, is the hood stand modification documented somewhere?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Hans
71 BGT

It has been a long time since I posted anything here, so let me see if I can
wake anyone up. We are currently in eastern Texas, and may be in southern
Louisiana in a few days, heading in the general direction of Florida. It
was late February last time we were cruising through this area. Looks to be
very quiet on the car club scene these days, so we have more time available.
Wondering if anyone needs any help with an ailing MG? We tend to fix things
as we pass. Otherwise we just like to visit interesting cars.
