I think the problem is that tonight I might be tempted to say no, MGs are
not *that* hard. But that's because I have never worked on a car before I
got my B in October, and just by replacing the plugs (one was cracked), air
filters and fuel filter, as well as topping off the dampner that the DPO
ignored the car is purring, and I even had the confidence to try the
overdrive - which works. :-) Oh, and I added 3/4 Qt of oil six weeks ago
and haven't had to add any since despite compulsive checking...
However, I know that there is coolant getting spit out on the front of the
crank case, the idle may be a little high and there are any number of
gotchas that will inevitably pierce my bubble.
So, since I'm a middle-aged fool who wanted a hobby he could sometimes
drive I will be saying my prayers to the MG gods tonight...for each problem
I learn to solve will be several that will leave me feeling stupid...
