Hi Colin,

was a lovely weekend away, thoroughly enjoyed it! Great scenery, roads and company.

We were very lucky with the weather too.

You should ask Geoff about his runaway car

If the central locking is still having a mind of its own with the driver's door lock unit disconnected then yes, the passenger door becomes the next suspect. Which you'll blitz in no time, now that you're a hardened veteran of door panel removal ;) The passenger side door tends to pick up a bit mor...

The whipping of the door skin off went well - the getting it back on however took me an hour

And I stil have the problem with everything disconnected the lock still played up.... I guess it's the passenger door next?!

Thank you Rob really helpful and easy to follow intructions.

Thank you very much Bandit, I will try the spray first!

Ah now that I can do, thanks I'll give it a try!

Thank you Charless, I'll see if I can find someone who might be able to help me with this, I think garages see me coming, I must have clueless written all over me. My neighbour is restoring an old car so hopefully he'll be my knight in shining armour, failing that it'll be the Credit Card. Thanks ag...

Thanks for the reply, it's 2001, I'm guessing I need to take it to a garage?

Hi, my car has suddenly decided it only likes to be locked, I unlock it using the fob and if I'm not quick enough it locks itself again. Even when I'm in it and it locks, I'll unlock it manually and it locks itself again. Has anyone got any suggestions, I'm concerned that at some point it won't unlo...

Hi Geoff, I had a phone call from the hotel today to confirm numbers as for some strange reason they thought I'd arranged this :lol: I confirmed yours and mine booking but they asked about a Mr Smith - can you give them a call please to confirm? :thumbsu: See you Saturday morning, I'm cleaning the c...

Thanks Colin for organising this one, great weekend and a pleasure to share it with other MG nuts, Total miles for me was 480, it was 223 from St Ives, left at 5.40 and returned home to stroud at 8.45, even did it with the roof down, couldn't be bothered to stop and put it up,although the heater wa...

Agree with Pete and Steve, was a fantastic day and such lovely people to share it with. My first time out so to speak and looking forward to hopefully seeing you all again in the not too distant future. Felt really guilty Pete for forgetting your birthday but at least it wasn't a big one eh? ;) Than...

Hi Colin, 10am at Exeter Services is fine with me, I'll look out for Steve & Bee and Lin & Pete?

Hi Colin, see you there! Looking forward to it.

Hi Colin

If I could meet up with you and Geoff to travel down to Exeter Services that would be great, any idea of a time or location? Just getting myself organised!!

Hi, this sounds fun, could I tag along? Can only come for the day though, I have work on the Monday. of course you can join us Sue. Happy to have you join us! You can travel down to exeter with 2 other MG's (Geoff's and mine) as well if you like. We'll sort time and location nearer the time. 8-) Hi...

Hi and welcome Impulse buy? That makes it sound like you'd popped out for a pint of milk and saw it on the next shelf and thought it might be nice for supper ;) The main things to get checked after a long storage period are tyres for flat spots or going slightly oval or spliting if they went flat b...
