Is that Welding ?

Looks like a flock of Seagulls have shat on it

Hi All Doing an Engine swap & the replacement engine is older than the blown one. It's a 2001 Rover 45 1.6, the replacement is from a 1998 Rover 216, obviously the replacement isn't the Wasted Spark K Series so doesn't have the CPS Lobe. Question is can I just change the one Cam from the blown e...

Father in Laws 214 Cabbie did this a few years ago, luckily it was only the rubber seal on the expansion tank cap. Replaced the seal & it hasn't done it since

its only done 68,000m in the MGF, I don't understand how people can't keep their engine bays clean !

It's going to get a damn good clean, paint & polish before it gets anywhere my show Cabby

I had a more detailed examination of the wires today and the smaller connector plugs all appear the same.

Who ever does it you are better off checking rear rail and side brackets at least get them blasted and coated a new hood is something that should be right , you don't want a rusty frame etc on a new hood . Good advice, I was lucky enough to have a spare set of retainers & rear bar that I preppe...

OK, that may be where this idea grinds to a halt !

I did mine myself, it was relatively easy & took me about 6 hours. Which ain't bad having never done one before. Mind you I am a Bodywork Technician by trade so have an unfair advantage :laughing2 Luckily who ever replaced the roof previously had the forethought to use Stainless fixings, so I di...

You may come into a little difficulty in using the MGF engine loom. Im not 100% but I think it might be a little different in terms of location of connectors to where they need to be. You might be better of sourcing one from a VVC Coupe, 200 BRM or 200VI (all of which are quie rare cars now.....) A...
