I am interested in removing and re-chroming the metal trim surrounding the whole instrument cluster on my TF? New ones seem to be either unavailable or cost a fortune as no one seems to make these any more.

Is there a way to do this without removing the entire panel from its wiring harness and with that, also removing all the gauges and their connections?

Happy New Year people-
Paul-The E type was interesting, to say the least (read frustrating) we'd been chasing this disappearing brake issue for a while.E's are a bit prone to cooking up the rear brakes and we'd redone the hydraulicks with a different (modern twin circuit) m/cyl with rear brake pressure tapered limiting and it was all working really good except in all the really tight bendy stu...

Careful on the shampoo there 🤣

Happy New Year! 🍾🍸🍺

Definitely only use BSI or ULab (or whatever the Australian equivalent is of a Government Approved Testing Laboratory) tested and certified battery tender if you are leaving the vehicle connected for long periods of time.

A battery tender is a completely different beast than a battery charger using low amperage I understand as it delivers a monitored charge as and when needed whereas a ba...

Yep, big advantage of shim and torque is it increases the effective working diameter of the stub axle by the distance the inner of the bearing adds on the side under compression. Given how easily Spridget stubs bend or crack if you hit something that is very useful.
Jag IRS shims, C16626, are perfect size and available in 3 and 7 thou thicknesses.

Interesting find on the E type Willy. ...

I'm going out to eat, Thai.

And I'm going to get pissed enough to welcome 2026.

I need the fortification.

Because, frankly, I don't think 2026 is going to be better than 2025.

How can it be? Labour in power, Putin in power, Trump disappointing in many respects (probably not a surprising, for various reasons); ---- and an entire catalogue of bollocks that, I can...

KG, your car, and all others, have been coping with charging the battery in the battery box as designed since it was built. Remember when first started the charge rate is highest for some miles and they cope just fine with this situation, or at least I have yet to hear of any bursting into flames due to inadequate ventilation, so I would not worry about it. If charging while stationary leave the...

I stopped advertising my continental runs in Mascot, for members from the Shires to join us, in 23 after having so much trouble with Chairman Parrot over the Gaydon Gathering.
I take no credit in planning it. A Kent member had arranged it all - discounts at Gaydon, discounts at a Hotel, advert in MG Enthusiast (?) and the MGOC Mag. An absolute gift for the Club, and costing nothing,...

Darren decided to discontinue: it had run its course.
With 20mph speed limits; cameras, humps & bumps, bus & cycle lanes it wasn’t in the end that much fun.
