Re: Exhaust downpipe

I’ve got hold of a micrometer and measured the tubing. Both the exhausts have OD of 41.5mm. On closer inspection, the pipes of the older exhaust have been flared out slightly where they join the flange to give an inner diameter of 39.9mm compared to 37.7mm of the newer exhaust. However, lower down, ...

Central locking

I have recently acquired a 2003 MGTF 135. The central locking is not working either on the remote or with the key. The pektron relays were replaced by previous owner about a year ago. I have taken the pektron control unit out and have found that three wires have been cut and isolated on the drivers ...
