I thought it was too good to be true. NEW LABOUR = NEW TAXS I have just read in my classic car mag that there are plans for anyone who has a Pre-1973 car to pay a admin charge of £4.50 per year. The question is "Why should drivers pay for details of there cars (Moggys) held on computer" Yo...

Yes Sheffield is not famous for Steel anymore but our DILAPIDATED road network which has now caused my front left damper to fail again for the third time in 5 months !!!!!!! There I feel a lot better now that I have got that of my chest. The problem this week is when I turn the car right the front l...

I Have Noticed that a MGB GT has a 2 speed wiper motor which just looks like the one on a Moggy, I wonder if You could do a swap?

did you put redex in the carb dashpot (throttle damper) at the same time the problems started? Hello Ray. I have always put Redex in the dashpot, I was told by the Moggy place in Manchester that you could put anything in & Redex cleans as it passes thought. The problems of misfiring started abo...

Today me & my dad cleaned & adjusted the NGK spark plugs, the spark plugs were for some reason set at 0.065 ins I am amazed the car ran at all with a gap that size, had you just fitted the plugs without checking them straight from the box ? as they are not pre-set to suit all the cars that ...

The Car was OK before I canged the rotor arm, I forgot to say that we changed around then new rotor arm with the old one but there was no difference every time I took my foot of the gas pedel "Olive " there was a pop sound. My dad was concerned about spark plug Number 4, 1,2 & 3 were n...

Hello Cam. Iam going to check the spark plugs this sunday, I have recently filled the dashpot with redex, however I have used redex for the last 2 years without any problems.

Hello Everyone. Ive got a big problem with "Olive" at the moment. At the moment the engine sound very rough and everytime I take my foot of the gas pedel there is a poping sound coming from the exhaust but when Iam doing over 35MPH & I take my foot of the gas pedel there is a big missf...

Hello Everyone.

I also seem to be having the same problem but with "Olive" I get a popping sound coming from the exhaust when I take my foot of the gas pedal is this normal or does "Olive" want some "Olive Oil " Ha-Ha

Can you please tell me what the orange bulb is on the speedo dial above the blue main beam bulb?

Is it important? as mine dose not seem to be wired up.

Hello Everyone :D Can anyone tell me when I fill the dashpot up (Recomended Redex ) how long is it supposed to last before I refill it? Iam not sure the problem I have is because there are lots & lots of Hills in Sheffield and I have to put the accelerator pedal down a lot to get "Olive&quo...

Paul, Try to jack it up from under the axle U bolt area. This way the N/S/R will be under load & it should be easier to see what might come in contact with it. Jacking the body up will let the wheel hang down & it might not be easy to see what can hit what. Make sure you have it properly su...

It's not the exhaust hitting somewhere is it? Most times if it's been hitting something, there will be evidence in the way of a shiny spot. updated rear suspension Are the dampers (shock absorbers) mounted vertically or at an angle (viewed from the rear)? I've seen angled ones here come very close ...

Hello Everone :D Has anyone out there got a Intermediate Wipers relay wired up and working on there moggy? I got my hands on one of these relays.
