Thanks for the replies. I received a second quote for the repair of mine which was a bit more palatable so I’m going to get mine repaired. I wondered about a lower cost gauge but am part way into building what is going to result in a fairly expensive engine and for the sake of £100 I’d rather know I...

I've just 'removed' the temperature sender by cutting the capillary line to the gauge. I realise this is something of an error but there really didn't seem to be an alternative choice as the sender was corroded into the head and had the nut ringed off, no amount of persuasion with spanners or grips ...

Hi Peter, Thanks for your reply and good to catch up again. I'm glad you got your engine sorted. First question. Looking through the MGCC regs in the link you sent, I think I should be able to run in standard class as my car is 1976 and it states in 3.2.1.8 cars built after 1974 may run with the rub...

Well as there is a new section on here and I don't visit very often I thought I'd mention my car and this seems the place to put it (mods please move to MGB general if you feel it more appropriate). I will start by declaring that it is not a competition car - YET. I've always been involved in motor ...

Hi, As it's a later car. I presume you have a brake servo? Some years ago my 76 car was impossible to bleed manually and I found the rubber bladder in the servo had perished so take the cover off this and have a look as well as checking the Master Cylinder. The servo adds complication into the syste...

That’s interesting mine says no results returned. I’ll still have to get the v5 changed. Thanks for the help

Hi, sorry to hijack this thread but it's most relevent to my current status. I have a 1976 car so it's over 40 years old but hasn't been on the road since it turned 40 (gosh three years without an MGB). I'm now almost ready to get it back on the road - there's cosmetic and paint work to do but it's ...

Hi Peter, Thanks for your help. The car is lowered already and was carried out by a local mg specialist but I don't know exactly what springs he used. Based on the weight of the steering wheel I don't think the castor was adjusted much, if at all. I'll tap him up in the pub when I see him next. I fi...

Thanks Peter.

You have a pm!

I have a 76 bgt which has been in dads garage for a few years whilst I carried out some mechanical repairs. These are nearly finished and I'd like to use the car in some competitive manner. I'm thinking hrcr road rallies, the mg speed championship and track days so I want to make some sensible adapt...
