My MGB GT V8 has those pneumatic(?) support things for bonnet. I
got them from a team.net bloke I think but you can get them quite
easily. I also have them on the tailgate - absolutely brilliant and
I recommend them. Easy to install and do not interfer<br><br>

I've driven the GT too little this year.<br>
Reason was oil swallowing like over a litre per 100 miles.<br>
This happening made me quite unhappy as the engine had been overhauled
not<br>
long ago (in miles speaking).<br>
Also my health was not optimal this year, so after seeking the reason
for<br>
this engine error I asked my friendly garagist to look to the most
suspected<br>
part of the engine - the breather system.<br>
It appeared this system was clogged and after cleaning and putting it
back<br>
to the advised settings the GT is back on the road and has proven to use
oil<br>
little to none. <br>
Also thanks to Paul Hunt for his advise.<br><br>
Barney, you made me looking to your site where your travel experiences
were<br>
listed and I saw some pictures of MGB's where the engine hood was wide
open.<br>

I still use the original hood stand, which offers very little space to
work.<br>
So my question is, is the hood stand modification documented
somewhere?<br><br>
Thanks in advance.<br><br>
Cheers,<br>

It has been a long time since I posted anything here, so let me see if I
can<br>
wake anyone up. We are currently in eastern Texas, and may be in
southern<br>
Louisiana in a few days, heading in the general direction of
Florida. It<br>
was late February last time we were cruising through this area.
Looks to be<br>
very quiet on the car club scene these days, so we have more time
available.<br>
Wondering if anyone needs any help with an ailing MG? We tend to
fix things<br>
as we pass. Otherwise we just like to visit interesting
cars.<br><br>
