The only thing I can add, since I've never had an MG OD apart, is that most OD units have a reverse gear lockout to prevent the OD from being engaged when backing (which would seriously damage most O

One of the things I scavenge when a salvage yard gives me pocketing rights is these little damper caps off SUs. Here was our shameless quick and dirty fix for the wandering caps many years ago: if it

Might be worth a gentle try: try pushing the bonnet to one side by laying your hands flat on it, push down on it and then to one side and have somebody try the bonnet release; if that doesn't work, t

The little drive gear on the odometer drive has begun slipping on its shaft. Usually this happens the first time when it's trying to go from 9999 to 10000 or some similar pattern; after that it will

Thanks, Paul! I would agree, but the "ifs" weren't satisfied in this case: I saw 12 volts at the pump terminals with them *disconnected*. The pump would not work when connected to the terminals, but
