Uh, Debbie...if your mechanic disconnects the engine and tells you just to run it down hill, will you get a little suspicious? Poluting the air - even "in the desert" - isn't something you can justif

You've got the Haynes manual, and this list. Start teaching yourself to be your own MG mechanic. Look at it this way: You couldn't do any worse than the mechanics you have in town! That's what I did

Barney - Have you looked at a 79B manual lately??? Simple cars, yes up to 1967. Some may say even up to '69 or to '74. But emission strangulation is a huge ugly thing on a 79B. I'd suggest that your
