I’ve owned my MGB GT a few weeks now and have yet to top it up completely as I am worried the fuel pump won’t shut off automatically because the line the the gas tank is so wide. Someone please tell me this is a crazy opinion and filling up all the way is fine?

Relative is selling his 1953 MG TD (pictured above) on bring a trailer and I'm hoping to spread the word for him amongst those who love these classic beauties. Located in the US. Here is the auction link with all the relevant pictures and information.

Thanks for looking!

Hey y’all, I am replacing the thermostat temp switch on my 1980 B because fans started short cycling. It uses parts KTP9003, 9005, and 9006. The old rubber grommet has an extra wider lip that goes inside the radiator that seems like it’d seal better, so I reused it and it leaks (probably shouldn’t re use it) but the reason I used it again it cause the new one doesn’t have that. It is listed as compatible though. Yall think it’s fine to use the new one? I assume so but just want to make sure I have the right part. Also, should I make sure the retaining clip is clipped onto both sides? It seems to slip off and scrape plastic quite a bit and my old one it was only clipped onto one side of the switch. Don’t want to mess anything up. Any input is appreciated thank yall!

Just totaled my 1275 engine. It was a leaker but i ignored it a few days and seized up the engine. A few years ago i rebuilt it for around $2500, today it's $10,000. Anyone near the west coast (USA) got one for sale? What's worse, I just refinished the wood and painted it all but the roof. I know this is an MG group but the engine was from a Midget.

Restoring my 1976 midget and wanted to swap the radiator which was looking pretty tired. This cheaper eBay replacement was listed for 74-79 midgets, and while the mounting holes and height are correct, it’s about 2” shorter width total and the overflow nipple at the top is smaller.

Would I be okay to run this, with a hose reducer for that top hose?

Hey y’all got another question as usual. So the car started overheating out of nowhere in a drive thru line (I’d been driving it for probably 45 mins, sitting in the line for under 10) it got to about 3/4 on the temp gauge, I pulled over and let her sit for a few, then started driving again. it overheated again for a brief moment but dropped back to normal after 1-2 mins of driving. It still is overheating at idle though. I assume the water pump works since It was good when moving. The weird part is that my fans short cycle for about 35-40 seconds, then turn off for about 45 seconds before it repeats. All while the engine is staying overheated. My coolant level is about 1/4 inch down max in the thermostat housing so I would think it’s unlikely to be that. I bridged the thermostat switch connectors and they just sparked a little (this could be irrelevant and may have just not bridged them well enough, but I assume it’s not the switch itself since the fans do come on once the car is warm and not when cold) is this a fuse? Old fan motors drawing too much power and cutting it off early? Is there a bad connection somewhere? All other electric in the car seems to be good. Trying to get her back on the road ASAP so any help is appreciated!

Hi guys,

i just picked up my 1969 MG Midget Mk3 up from the mechanic who fixed my clutch.

It drives without any problems now, but when I parked it in my garage I heard and saw a big splash of liquid from underneath the car (near the front bumper on the left side)

To me it doesn’t look like gas, and not oil, either. I have attached some pictures (comments) showing where it leaks out and the amount.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on? Thanks in advance!!

hello all, picked up some headers and a weber carb and intake because i’m sick of dealing with british carb nonsense, the decks don’t line up though, and body ever had this problem before?? what’s a good solution

Is this a coolant leak? I’ve never noticed it before. She coincidentally just overheated a bit but I believe that’s due to the radiator fan not cycling for long enough at idle (goes for 35-40 seconds and stops, heard it should be a few mins especially if running hot). If anyone is able to diagnose this please let me know asap. I couldn’t get a good angle on it but I can try to get better ones if needed. Thanks yall hopefully she doesn’t have too big an issue

So this is a weird one. I’ve come back from holidays and the passenger side handle on the outside is round the wrong way! It still opens the door, so I don’t think it’s been knocked. I just checked pictures for sanity and it was def the other way round before. Please tell me I don’t have a ghost mechanic.

Hey all, need to replace a battery and realised my MGB doesn't have a battery box for some reason! Probably didn't help the battery much just being open to the elements. So just to check, if i go on moss motors or wherever, is it a standard size for all mgb's? I've got a 1972 GT if that makes any difference. Thanks for any help

Bigger battery displaced the pump. More pix--> https://bullfire.net/MGA/MGA-77/MGA-77.html
