I may be picking up in midstream here, but d you have wire wheels? If so, check to see if they're loose or the splines are sharked. Also check to see if pads fit tightly in calipers... -- Marc

Nope, no recovery system. And yep, it loses coolant continuously, but only in hot conditions...like, for example, a traffic jam. There's nothing as awful as watching your temp gauge creep up...and up

I had this problem, but it had nothing to do with the VR. It happened to my '63 B when I removed both fuses, disconnected every electrical component, and then started the car. When I replaced the fus

I seem to be the proud owner of two dead-as-a-doornail 6volt batteries. The local MG shop tells me that I should replace them with two new 6volters (cost, $62.95 apiece) rather than a _much_ cheaper

My compromise solution: I'll try one twelve volt battery. If during the six weeks' worth of winter and 5-7 days per year that it actually goes below 32 degrees here in the Atlanta tropics I discover

Get yerself a nice, comfortable, commutable car -- preferably with A/C, automatic, and a low-noise interior/nice stereo. I've also discovered (don't think I'm a geek!) that if I obey all the traffic

I agree. There's just nothing like having a second car for your daily murderous commute -- preferably with A/C, a soundproofed interior, and all the other goodies. I've discovered over the last few y

Call me a fool, but I actually _like_ my 4 speed, non-OD 3 main tranny. Problem is, the 2nd gear synchro is shot. In her assemblage of transmissions, Denise Thorpe has a '66 or '67 3 main with revers

Sounds to me like the pump itself is weak -- it's not just an air leak. You can buy rebuild kits for $30 or so -- and you can buy a brand-new SU pump for $75 if you're as lucky as I was. Not sure if

How well can you see the inner sill membrane? MG side construction is a sort of three-piece box-beam affair. There's a castle section that forms two sides, a top section, and a thin galvanized membra

Okay, here are some potential problems: 1) the nut holding the seal on isn't actually the same size as any wrench I've ever seen. I used a chisel and hammer to drift the nut around a fraction of an i

You have to modify the door skin if you use a later one. Best bet is to find early doors somewhere and patch 'em! Early doors are NLA. So far as I can tell, it's just the handle. The VB hoods are una

Anybody out there ever install new rockers only to discover that they seemed to be 1/2" too SHORT? And that the sill fillers don't fit AT ALL? Needless to say, it's been a frustrating week. -- Marc G

Hoo, boy. Well, first of all, the A-arms have to be replaced if the bolt holes have become oval instead of round. Used ones are cheap. I got my frozen bolts out with lots of liquid wrench and about f
