Thanks to everyone for the replies, I'm seriously impressed with the quality
of this list.
I'm not a "car guy" with loads of experience. I want to tinker, but have
decided to not mess with the brakes as my first experience. I'm having it
towed to the shop for a complete brake system check.
Why towed? After I sent my original email, I went out to move the MG into
the garage. Got in. Still not used to a car with a manual choke, flooded the
engine. sat there for a few seconds, turned the key again, it cranked once
and then *click* no electric. Nothing. Seems I offended the ghosts of lucas.
So I pushed it into the garage, go to open the hood, and cant. Now, I'll
admit to being not too worldly in the operation if this car yet, but I just
cannot make the hood release open the hood. I've pulled as hard as I thought
I could get away with without breaking the damn thing off, twisted, pushed.
When I looked at the car, the DPO opened the hood. Exactly how do you open
it?
So, less than 24 hours and it's already giving me hassle :)
