Work was carried out on our 1980 MG Midget by refitting and securing the rack gaiter. The threads on the track rod end were cleaned before refitting the lock nut. A new track rod end was installed; as it was slightly longer than the original, it required more turns to fit, exceeding the 15 turns […]
Jonn fitted a new manual washer pump to our 1978 MG Midget, primed the system, and tested it to ensure correct operation before securing it to the dashboard. The heater fan was tested by powering it directly, and an ignition live feed was checked from the fuse box. A dedicated wire was made to run […]

Jonn continued work on the headlight repair for our 1978 MG Midget, fabricating clips to secure the headlight to its surround. The wheels were refitted, and the vehicle was removed from the ramp. A new temperature sender was fitted after stripping out the old unit. Both seatbelt buckles were untwisted, and a new anti-slip provision […]
Jonn carried out a quick check of fluid levels on our 1978 MG Midget ahead of a planned road test, but the vehicle failed to start. Initial checks confirmed low fuel, so 10 litres were added, though the issue persisted. The spark plugs were cleaned and re-gapped, and a spark test showed no ignition. The […]

Pete’s inspection of our 1966 Mg Midget began with tracing a burned wire from the earth point located under the bonnet. The wire was followed through the firewall and along the underside of the dashboard, terminating at a terminal connection behind the speedo unit. It was noted that the wiring loom was split along its […]
