Re: Cambelt change
That's what I thought too, but the engine number is covered by the Ivor Searle sticker with their reference on. That's why I've emailed them, to try and find out the donor engine number without having to remove their sticker. If I don't get a response I will probably try and remove the sticker, but ...

Re: Cambelt change
Thanks RobboMC. The 26mm belt is on order. It is a manual tensioner that is on the car atm.

Before I even think about starting the engine after such a long hibernation, I want to change the cam belt, tensioner and water pump. I did initially make inquiries (through their websites) of a couple of MG Rover specialis...

Re: 2017 - Anyone out there?
Hi Gary Just to let you know there is somebody out there! I live in South Northants. I have to say that I regard my current F as more of a summer daily fun car rather than one that I take to events, especially as it isn't a pristine example.
