Did the belt goes to crankshaft pully as well ?

Why on earth do you feel you have to put annoying music on at the same time as you are talking. It makes no sense and is just distracting.

Some time ago I got a dashboard warning message to say that I had a rear bumper left brake light failure on my 2017 Mini Cooper Clubman. Well, thakfully it wasn't a blown bulb (£39.99!) so I simply cleaned the terminals, gave things a jiggle and we were soon back in business. However, last week I got the same message. Once again it wasn't the bulb, but I noticed that one of the terminal plates inside the light assembly had partially burnt through. I simply refuse to spend £100 on a replacement tail light assembly, so I cleaned up the electrode, repaired the defect using a blob of solder and smeared some Copper Ease grease onto both electrodes (I didn't have any dielectric grease) before reassembly. It seems that the lights on various Mini models must be prone to moisture ingress, so Mini/BMW could do well to apply some dielectric grease to all terminals during initial assembly. Thanks for your clear video clip, Jerry.

Thank you! I am going to look for my first ever british sports car on next sunday. A 1968 MG Midget. Hopefully the car is as good as the seller says, maybe I drive home on sunday with a new hobby. This video was nice information on the regular maintenance. Subbed.

Hello Jerry, how's the midget going just found your channel and enjoying the mg videos. Looking to buy a mk3 myself so very interesting.

Are you sure it’s not German made? It seems to respond only to force.

Thank you Jerry very good useful information

Great video thanks, just about to do this on our Cooper D.

Are those mgb calipers?

Timeless video I have a bugye with the same setup. My brake system is with the mgb calipers and spitfire rotors. It's not a simple bolt on, but after working out some issues, I'm happy

I froze the race to aid in seating.

You mean coolant

Hi well after watching the tutorial for the switch removal I decided to have a go soldering iron and switch in hand The result is a FAIL couldn’t get the old switch out the circuit board No matter how much heat I applied seems so tight So it’s now back on the car still not working Any advice hints ? Thanks

Thanks, Jerry. That threw some light on my not entirely tight fan belt. Before watching, I ignored the adjusting screw as a possibility on the grounds that no manufacturer could possibly put it somewhere so hard to get to.

This was an absolutely great video really has been so helpful 🙏

Hey, Jerry - Just watched this today, and I do have a question - the pads really go in "dry" like that? I would have assumed that you needed grease on the edges where they ride in the caliper. Just curious!

3:47 😂😂

The oil filter paint had me laughing 😂 I know that sort of stuff happens to me!!

Not clear what, how you connected the garden hose.

Where did you get that "groovy" roll bar?

Use the aluminium Brillo pads, that stops you scraping the rust particles as abrasive paste all over your chrome. Soak the whole thing in WD40 for a week before you start as it softens the rust.

Great to see real world mechanic-ing rusty bits, bent bits etc., well done.

Jerry, I’m aware it’s a couple of years since fitting the horns but do you remember where you purchased them. Was it Moss or MGOC club shop. Thanks

Any update on the fix? Still holding strong?

Just doing this now. This kind of build is something that needs to be addressed under EU right to repair law. That plastic weld should be replaced by 2 self tappers.

Now Jerry obviously better than my 64 Midget as you're smiling even before you get behind the wheel 😂. Excellent hopefully head gasket now all sorted and onwards and upwards for your next event. All the very best Johnny 👍

Does the Frontline suspension require greasing every so often? I am working on a 1970 mgb gt mk3 and am thinking about the conversion for ease of maintenance.

Trying to replace my front bearing with tapered roller bearings, but when I put in the new races, the front one all the way seated could be spun in place by hand. Any suggestions on how to fix this without buying a new hub?

Hi Jerry, any new videos coming please? Missed the regular updates. 👍

I spray mine with maintenance oil and gently polish it.

Who supplied the brake parts that did not fit?

I’d change the grub screw in the top arm to a bolt if you can as they seize in no time. Maybe a large dose of wax would help too

Thanks, great video! Did my trunk release, works well.

Thanks so much for this! We had the same problem, actually got an MOT failure which wasn't expected (no other garage has failed it on that before) I used a heat gun like you suggested. I dabble in electronics so actually had a suitable microswitch knocking around. I used solvent weld (like for PVC plumbing) as I don't have a glue gun. which did an okay job in re-attaching the lid. It was a little uneven where I had pried it off so also added some silicone sealant around the perimeter after welding. Let's see how long it lasts - the rubber 'button' actually has a split in it so it's not super weatherproof from the bottom up.

Take a drink everytime he says dielectric grease

Why did you get rid of the anti roll bar?

Hi Jerry. I know this was not about your suspension but I am thinking of purchasing the same suspension kit as you, wounding if you think this is a worthwhile upgrade over replacing the original dampers?

Thanks, Jerry. I can't tell you how much I appreciate these videos. I've referred to many of them for my Midget, and keep referring back to them over time for additional maintenance. But the key is that I watch them as they come out because they're educational and entertaining, and they're well filmed. So thanks again!

I added this kit to my 61 bugeye with mgb calipers and spitfire rotors kit

I have a bugeye sprite with the same setup for the shocks and suspension Spitfire rotors, mgb calipers for the brakes The rear has ssbc vented rotors The tie rod ends hit the rotors at full lock. Fixed that by adding split collars to the rack under the boots. I have a sbc 383ci in the car and a th350 I'll try a more aggressive brake pad

Hope I can find a european sounding horn at my local parts house. My horns are dreadfully inadequate.

Fan belt good, alternator loose. Its not a great system. Anyone know of a tensioner pulley setup for these cars?

Hi Jerry, great video, my problem is the weather shield has corroded away and need to replace that, do you know if it's possible or do I need to replace the whole thing? I can see weather shield replacements for sale online but I can't see a join with the original one I have currently fitted....any help would be great. Thanks.

Not enough prep work on removing the rust before treatment. Also deox c gel should be covered with cling film and left for 24hrs min. This process should be carried out more than once if rust is still present, to eradicate effectively. Apologies if I sound negative or nitt picky but wouldn't want to see the rust reappear any time soon 👍

Now I can see what’s happening on the backside. It tells the whole story. You can see the mess. 😆

Thanks Jerry. Super helpful.

Jerry... are you flushing the heater-core? If so, where is the out flow and is the heater valve opened?

my brake light went out on my 2012 clubmen. replaced it w/o issue about a month ago and all worked fine until a few days ago. it went out again. so i pulled the lamp assembly out again thinking it was juts a bad bulb and now it's all melted solid and cant even take the new bulb out. seems really odd that happened in just a few weeks. could a bad bulb or connection do that is such a sort time? any suggestions?

Thank you the breakdown on different greases ‼️
