No ABS on this one!

Located in Neath, South Wales

X-Power grey, 69000 miles, good overall original condition. I've had the car over 5 years and have thoroughly enjoyed using it but the time has come to move on to something else, hopefully in the MG family.

Sounds good with the added bonus of being a VVC! These cars are definitely worth saving but check subfames and for any rust in the cills and arches. The clutch may be a simple fix but the arm could be seized which could take some work to free up or may need a new one. The cambelts will probably also...

Had this trouble on my F, you may need to move the middle bar back slightly to allow the hood to fully retract.

Have a look on you tube, seem to remember there was a video on this.

My TF has straps inside the hood to stop it jamming.

Hope this helps.

Blimey makes you wonder what's lurking unseen under carpets etc!

Worth just taking a look every so often.

It was quite surprising that there was a complete lack of abnormal movement in the wheel, it was only when the hub was off that it became obvious!

Turns out it was the wheel bearing. Replacement hub fitted and all good again.

Thanks I will have a good look this weekend.

Hi, I have developed a squeak! Or rather the car has - rear nearside rotational noise starts at about 15 mph and at higher speeds sounds like a rubbing noise but at lower speeds more of a rubbery squeak. More prominent when moving or turning to the right but goes under heavy load. It started as an i...

Canned air worked a treat. New plugs, leads, oil and filters done. First service for four years according to the history.

Basically it wasn't correctly seated on the pulley and wound it self off and cut through the plastic cover and almost make contact with the cambelt!

Good point. Maybe I could rig up my easy bleed as an airline.

Wish I thought of that yesterday when i was faffing with blue tack!

Thanks for the suggestions. I saw one you-tube video where this guy was jet washing the spark plug wells! It was American truck though. I have just bought a can of air, so will give it a go. Funny how a relatively simple job turns into an absolute nightmare with the potential for catastrophic damage...

Long story short. Went to change spark plugs today and discovered that the plastic caps on the HT leads had disintegrated. Some of thethe debris has fallen into the spark plug wells. I managed to get most of big bits out using blue tack of all things but there us still a lot of small bits in there a...

You were spot on !

Break in the co-ax just the cable goes into the loom, probably rubbing on boot hinge. A bit of splicing and dicing and all seems well.

Oh just realised that there is a separate in car entertainment topic. Sorry

Hi My TF has an aftermarket Pioneer stereo, it was there when I bought the car. It has lots of flashing lights and gizmos, as well a a CD, Bluetooth, usb, something to do with sub woofers. What it dissent have however is a decent tuner. I normally listen to the radio when commuting or out and about ...

I've got the rose jointed bracket on mine and it seems a better set up but there was a position one of the FB groups today about the fixing bolts failing in situ.

Anyone heard of this?

On mine it was quite easy as the car has an aftermarket kit fitted which was there when I bought it. I'm not sure about the standard set up but I would imagine there are some how to guides out there. Make sure the belt is lined up on the pulleys. Apart from my issue it was a easy! When I compared th...
