To tell you the truth, I've never worked on the hydrolastic suspension in
an MG 1100 because none of the four I've owned have needed it and I never
worked on an 1100 when I worked on MG's for a living. The people who know
about hydrolastic suspension live on the Mini-list because an MG 1100 is a
big Mini. They can be reached at

Be prepared for some razzing about having an 1100. In Miniland, 1100's are
just parts cars for Minis or the car they started with before graduating to
Minis--if someone can be said to "graduate" to a car that's so small the body
seams have to stick _out_.
