An unexpected problem with the TF

Suzi Sunshine! A lovely little TF that I bought needing some welding. Rather than getting it fixed I offered up for sale as a spares or repair project and I have an almost certain buyer. Now it's decided to give a problem!

I'm 100% certain that Steve Berry off Top Gear in the 90s is a man of honour and integrity and you will have nothing to worry about. I'm going to have a little rant now so feel free to go and read the other comments, I don't expect you to endure this. Roundabouts? If you have to. Traffic lights? perhaps. Traffic lights on roundabouts? No! Pick one or the other, not both. What's the point of a roundabout if you're just going to put traffic lights on it. Either have a roundabout or have traffic lights, if you need to put traffic lights on your roundabout then the roundabout was not the correct solution in the first place. You should have gone with traffic lights in the first place. Traffic lights on roundabouts are a sign that road planners messed up and the more roundabouts with traffic lights there are, the more ashamed the road planners should be. And don't get me started on these new roundabouts getting in everyones way just so people who buy new houses can get out of their road quicker than the people who lived there before the new houses came and made the traffic worse. Am I right?

[@ProjectNigel]

Yes you are right. The only instance where the 'traffobout' works is off motorway junctions.

[@badbooks476]

Very well diagnosed, Mustard. As regards the wrong 3 tools, I suppose no worse than 1 wrong tool, as long as you got the right 3, 2nd time round

[@ProjectNigel]

Yes I got the correct tools eventually, and I could have pretended that I didn't make a mistake, but that's just not me

[@georgeprime2249]

Every time you drive a car around the yard, dangle that strong magnet you’ve got from somewhere at the rear of the car just above ground level.

[@ProjectNigel]

That's quite a good idea

[@AliMackMechanical]

These thing's are sent to try us. I am sure you will get it sorted. Good luck with your sale. I will try and get them beers 👍

[@ProjectNigel]

I will try 🙂

[@bluetonic9538]

My money is on a seized clutch arm that has caused the slave cylinder to explode. Best of luck

[@ProjectNigel]

It should be good again with plenty of use.

[@bluetonic9538]

@@ProjectNigel my MG F had the same problem 8 or 9 years ago. A bit of plus gas on the shaft and a good wiggle worked. It's been my daily driver since.

[@michaelbolt4530]

I also like them beers 10% jobby

[@ProjectNigel]

Yeah they're fantastic

[@StevensPaul]

It's Always something,eh Mustard? You shall triumph in the end 🔚.

[@ProjectNigel]

I will

[@neilsutton6469]

Talking about roundabouts, we have a beautiful one near me at Fareham, which I have you get through from Gosport on my way to Portsmouth. It has six junctions off it and 9 (if I remember rightly) sets of traffic lights on it. How the h... does that work,....?? .the answer is terrible!!!🙈

[@ProjectNigel]

Bloody hell I don't like the sound of that

[@willswheels283]

I had the clutch slave cylinder seal fail on the MGF I had a few years ago, right in the middle of the road and at a set of traffic lights, the pedal went straight to the floor and I was stranded. Luckily a passerby saw my plight and assisted with helping me push the car into a nearby car park which was where I was turning into as it happened.

[@ProjectNigel]

Embarrassing eh?

[@willswheels283]

@@ProjectNigel it was a bit. Had to be recovered home after a 2 hour wait! The Garage that replaced the cylinder for me said it’s a common MG/Rover fault.

[@perrytape9280]

You can top up both water and oil from the section within the boot. No need to remove the engine cover for this

[@ProjectNigel]

I know that when the cover is on, just a little focus wandering on my behalf

[@user-lh2iq5wk3n]

Guys, I have a rover 25. I'm going to replace the tailgate with a new one. I found on sale covers from rover 200 and rover MG. Will tailgate fit from 200 or MG for 25?

[@ProjectNigel]

Yes they fit.

[@user-lh2iq5wk3n]

@@ProjectNigel Thank you, bro

[@andrewhumphreys]

What 200 ? The r3 200 you need but if its the r8 200 then no it won't

[@SmashingPistons]

Great fun to work on without a lift aren't they?

[@ProjectNigel]

Erm... no
