you must have very high seats then william I'm 6'1" with a 55 splitscreen and I can see out no problem,in fact the series2 had a high domed roof.and I feel that my seat could do with going up.Could be that your seats have been modified to suit a smaller person,have a look at the bases to see if...

be carefull yg if they are just rusted together(Probabable cause) forcing them off might cause damage to the treads on the pin,you obviously have read that the pins are unobtainable,give them a good soak in oil,Diesel is one of the best penetrative oils.stand them in a tub full for a day or two.Good...

most mot stations (Use your local guy) will test the brakes on the rollers costs nothing and takes a couple of minutes.Then you can start to look for the problem. Its no good looking elsewhere until you know for sure it's not the brakes.From there as others have said tie rod bushes rear axle.could b...

my splitty which iv'e had for twenty years,was owned by a guy who used to take it to my friends garage every november and spray the underside with old engine oil,when I aquired it,I spent weeks scraping off all the old gunge underneath, guess what,could still see the original brown paint underneath....

stumped as well

[quote="bmcecosse"]- why on earth would they unscrew? ] always thought about, this how can they,I think it is a myth,morris fitted the master BEFORE the torsion bar and didn't think about anyone removing the cylinder for service

just done my splitty with RH £72 comprehensive, unlimited miles ,breakdown cover, free EU cover, buy back salvage, don't know how they can do it ,cheapest I could find,also straight through MOT yesterday,and just gone on line and happy days free years tax

ah ha so they think the b post is strong enough,well going to fit it and see

yes dean so do I The problem is where to mount the free end of the drivers side of the belt ,you know the one that sits at shoulder height on modern cars and lets the belt slide through it. Ive looked at mine closely and can say that the B post is not very strong in this area,I have removed my trafi...

anyone know if the mgb axel will fit a series two,got a good one behind the shed but covered with loads of other stuff so not easy to measure

I asked this same question a few months ago and the concensus of opinion was that the b post on a four door would'nt to strong enough, still looking at it though,thinking of welding a plate(Mines a 55) onto the sill and bottom of b post to mount the reel, The other side on the trans.tunnel is easy t...

have you checked the valve inside the carb float chamber,the one atached to the float,if this is sticking,although you have petrol pumping at the pipe it might not be getting into the float chamber,Next time it stops, switch ignition off coast to the side and before trying to start take off the top ...

if having a Q plate worries you simply get the vehicle onto a Q then buy a personalised cheep cherished number,

is the bar not just a spare bumper iron,have a look behind the bumpers and see if its the same as the ones already fitted

if the problem is with the car on the move it could be that the disks or disk is warped slightly this then taps back the pads into the clipers so they are not in close proximity to the disk then same as poor adjustment needs a push to get them out to the disk before hard pedal. Can you feel a slight...

hard pedal on the second or third push is 99% caused by poor adjustment of the brakes ,not air in the system(Allthough it can imitate the same fault)If the brake shoes are not in close contact with the drums it takes two of three pushes to get them there then you get a good pedal,Air in the system c...

looking at the photo I think they are too far gone,I wouldn't like to start rubbing away at them,it,s a shame I gave my old ones to the gypos (can I say that ) sorry metal recyclers, aka (Police terminology)borrowers ,cos they were 10000% better than those,and you could of had them,for the postage

I think mine are aluminium,will have a look tomorrow

sometimes when you read an mot failure ticket it looks like an obituary,tell us what has been said,it might not be as bad as you think. Welding is not rocket science and with a half decent mig welder, relatively cheap, and a bit of practice, its suprising what results an average person can get. Show...
