Don't have any solutions but I had the same experience with the TRF "uprated" springs. I waited for almost a year hoping they'd settle to a reasonable height. The car looked like those pathetic late

Wow, that frame must be thoroughly twisted! Sounds like the lower A-arm on the impact side was pushed back and the other was twisted forward. I would have expected the caster to make it pull too but

Someone asked yesterday about the oil filter cartridge to fit the spin-on adapters for the TR6, probably also the other models. The Fram number is PH966B and its the filter for later MG's. Fram lists

Absolutely! The thrust washer will live a long and happy life as long as an adequate oil film is maintained on its surface. The design clearance allows for this oil flow from the pressurized oil pass

Couple notes from one I owned for only a year, so my experience is limited... If you have a 4-speed, the clutch is vulnerable because of the tall first gear. I forget when they went to 5-speeds. The

Your numbers are right where they should be compared to my early '72 (CC75???) and late '72 (CC79???). Mine also did not match the TRF coolant hose diagram. The literature often indicates that runnin

Bruce replied: A _steady_ reading whether quarter or half scale is likely normal due to differences in stats, gauges and senders. But the climb at idle says it loses control, too much heat or too lit

Can't resist once more into the frey. A shimmy only on braking is warped rotors, not a huge job to replace (unless bolts are rusty) but check prices on new rotors and pads. They're so thin they ofte

My understanding is the opposite, that engine numbers and commission numbers were only close. From a manufacturing viewpoint it would be wasted effort with no added value. Given BL's level of organiz

Chip wote: I think its way high too. New paint only covers old problems and if it was that bad it will probably be a basket case in three years again. IMHO you're far better off to wait for one that
