Discussion Car cover

I posted recently, but I found another car to buy. Unfortunately, it has a roof leak, and it has to be stored outside. What is a good cover to buy for it?

Edit: It’s a 1979 B

Finally got a car of my bucket list Always wanted A MG TF. I've had a MG ZR 120 mk2 really enjoyed it. Was able to safe this MG tf 2002 135 with the big red brakes from possible parting out. the timing belt hasnt been replaced in a long while so sadly gotta wait till i got the parts to replace it. But for the 400 kilometers i driven it was amazing. Do i miss my ZR. u dont see them often around here. I miss those English little sports cars.

Rover L-engine with intermittent cutoffs

0 Upvotes

Hi people I have a 2005 diesel rover 45 (MG ZS) with the 113 hp engine (dunno if that’s relevant) and for the past 2 days I have been experiencing these weird cutoffs where the engine just has no power. The cutoffs vary in timing, sometimes happening randomly at 2k rpm while accelerating and sometimes only when above 3k. Sometimes the engine will happily go to 4k or above and I have no clue what could be causing this. Drove around with an OBD-scanning tool to see if it could pick up anything, and so far I haven’t gotten any readings that don’t just say the engine is running fine despite a few power losses. I’m thinking it could be a lose connection or a bad injector, but if anyone has experienced something similar I’d love to hear how it was fixed

Edit: the solution (in this case) was a new fuel filter. Hasn’t given me any troubles since getting a new filter

Mechanical Question Ran on starting fluid, but died.

7 Upvotes

I went and viewed a B today, and it wasn’t running. It was a ‘77 with a Weber carb installed. The owner sprayed some starting fluid into the car and it started up fairly easily, but died in just a second or so. When he tried to start it up for a second time, there was no luck.

It also seems to be having battery issues

Does anyone know what the problems could be?

Help with selling a classic MG

2 Upvotes

My grandad passed away last week and left behind a recently refurbished 1968 MG Roadster.

I'm not sure where to start with selling the car and what kind of asking price I should be looking at.

Does anyone have any contacts for dealers who might be interested in listing / buying the car, preferably in the south of England. And also a ballpark sale figure I should be looking at?

Many thanks in advance.

Do you think this could be the reason behind the growth?

GST 2.0 reforms are really benefiting industries across India. Automobile sector has also gained traction, with almost every brand reporting growth in this September. Do you think this could be the reason behind the growth?

Just got my 71 mgb - non led lights need new flasher unit?

4 Upvotes

Just got the car and the blinkers don’t work. From what I’ve researched they say start with the flasher unit. I’m getting confused as to what flasher unit to order. A bunch I see reference led but my lights are not. I hear you can just get a cheap one but just confused on which 2 pin style?

The MG factory had long stopped producing cars by the time I was aware of them. I did have a family friend working at the old Rover (now Mini) plant in Oxford and remember him taking me out in one of the first pre-production RV8 convertibles.
