Hi,
I ended up with an 1980 MG B GT when I came home from an auction the other week. Nice car as it is, I have a few questions.
I heard that the overdrive should automaticly disengage. I cannot hear a solinoid going when I go from 4th to 1st or reverse (with the ignition on and the engine off). Is it broken? Any good tests?
I need to change the wheel bearings. I saw this site [1] and it reakons you do not need the spacers and shims, and it is loads easier to change them without. Anyone else agree?
What is the best additive, now they are phasing out LRP at petrol stations? I should be able to put real 4* in every now and again.
I could pick up a new set of carbs for 90 quid. My mate reakons they would help with fuel economy and performance. What do you reakon?
Thanks for any help. I am sure I shall be back for some more advice. Oh, and if you want to see pics of it, they are at [2] (warning, pics are big, link is to an index). There are also pics of the other car I bought at the same auction for motorway use.
