MGB Register Forum

I note the hydraulic jacks are mentioned. I have two of these in trolley jack configuration. One is for general garage use, the other is built into my motorcycle workbench. Both are good quality jacks but both of them cannot be relied upon to stay up, so if you use a hydraulic jack you must also ...

Your experience Peter on alternative lamps and bulbs is good news - I have printed the page for future reference and may now convert from my TOC-H candles to something a little better.

Good point to check is the security and cleanliness of any joints on the supply leads to the lamps and also to ...

A small aside to the matter of rocker arms and tappet clearances. On a recent MGB Register event I was having trouble with very lumpy idling. After a bit of thought I decided this might be down to valve seat recession allowing the valves to seat deeper into the head and take up the tappet clearance ...

That sounds like a good move, Vic. Hope I can remember when my fairly recently fitted 12 volt battery dies. As for the slight electrical leakage, this is something I came across some years ago and overcame (but no cured) by fitting a master switch (as fitted on competition cars) on the carpeted ...

Can't be a barrel of laughs holding a metal pan scourer between two HT leads with poor insulation!!

Probably the most important area is the front suspension. If it is too loose the car will not steer a well as it should and it can fail the mot. Keep it well greased!!
