On Friday evening I finally got the much awaited call that the work on the right headlight bowl has been completed. They asked me to come into the workshop on Saturday to take the Morgan apart again. The bonnet and cowl came off easily. Removing the exhaust and front wings without jacking the car up... Continue Reading →

It took a month but finally the shipment from Rimmerbros arrive. DPD returned it them twice without explanation. I asked Rimmerbros to switch to DPDHL Monday a week ago. A day later the customs declaration came in as email. Rimmerbros had a completely filled out way bill attached - but I had to reenter the... Continue Reading →

There are a couple of reasons why it has been a while since my last post. Uncertainty number one is when the spare will arrive. I ordered quite a few parts from Rimmerbros on May 10th. But, due to some hick-up of the delivery company the package never left the UK. The tracking info shows... Continue Reading →

Before I could start working on Maggie today, I had to do some gardening. But my arms and back tell me that the word “landscaping” is closer to the truth. It was just after 6pm that I finally got to work in the garage. Jacking up the front of the MGB is easy and my... Continue Reading →

With a bit more than three weeks left until the Morgan will (hopefully) get its paint, I thought it is a good idea to do a few maintenance jobs on Maggie – the MGB GT. The front wheel bearings really need to get done now. As the brake calipers need to come off for this... Continue Reading →

.... was the question of the day. During my lunch break I was able to pick up Miffi (my Mini Cooper) from a small technical check. While doing the gearbox overhaul last month I also replaced two broken track rods and did the HIF44 servicing myself. While I was more confident that I did everything... Continue Reading →

As I had to postpone two already fixed appointments at the paint & body shop for the Morgan - I now must wait a bit until they can squeeze in C6622 into their schedule. Additionally, we might have to start with some front-wing adjustments that were not planned before. The few test-drives I have done... Continue Reading →

What a beautiful Sunday. The weather was perfect and after an extensive walk with the dogs in the morning I got into the garage just after noon. After pushing the Morgan back into the garage last Tuesday, I concluded that my “Weber overhaul” must be the root cause for the issue. It was clear that... Continue Reading →

There are a couple of things I worked on today but right now there is only one question/topic in my head: should I take the engine/gearbox out again? After somehow getting the engine to start my main objective was to find out why the gearbox sounds so strange. Both the engine as well as the... Continue Reading →

Due to work related appointments, I did not make it to the garage before 6:30pm tonight. I started right away with refitting the Facet fuel pump and Malossi filter/regulator that I took out yesterday and verified the engine will start. Fast idle had to be adjust slightly and it was good to see that the... Continue Reading →
