    I just now tried the link in Chris's post. Same result as you.

    Then I copied the link and pasted it into my browser. It worked. (Cyber gremlins)

    Maybe this John Twist video will help.

    I took the easy way out on TF7211 years ago ... I bought a new rack & pinion from Moss. Currently about $400.

    Guy--that slotted plate holds the 5th gear selector in place---I usually have the gearlever in place and move it left-right a few times then fit the plate gently feeling(try not to move anything) for a central position. It's there to line up the sideways selector gate. As you say you can't tell much differance, but if it's way out of adjustment sometimes you'll pull out of 5th and the selectors wo...

    I think I read somewhere the capacity is 500ml.

  • C Hasluck09 July 2025

    Second thoughts - would gravity work on a Midget.
    ? It sounds a lot easier that way if it works.

    Hi Dave
    I have a brake fluid tester similar to that one. That’s how I know the clutch fluid needs changing urgently. Brake fluid tested okay but that was probably filled later. I think the Peter May extended line to a more convenient place is a great idea but I will try the normal method first even though I am getting a bit old for crawling around on the garage floor!

    One sure way to cause alarm amongst the twitterati is to be seen wheeling a trolley load of bog rolls through Tesco's carpark...😉

    If the master piston doesn't fully return then it can't clear the bypass port to the reservoir so you end up with the same amount of fluid in the lines etc. as before. In that situation heavy braking will cause the fluid to expand and tend to cause the brakes to bind when they should be released, resulting in _less_ pedal travel than normal.

    I get this when my roadster servo sticks in hot ...

    It would certainly be worth dismantling the MC to see if there's an obvious issue with it.

  • Dave O'Neill 209 July 2025

    They keep telling us that inflation is coming down.

    I received my water bill a few weeks ago. The cost of metered water has increased by 43% and the standing charge for waste water by 55%.

    Looking at my supplier's website, they said they will be gradually increasing their charges over the next five years. Well, if that's gradual, I'd hate to think what a sudden increase would b...

  • ONLY 6662 MILES PRISTINE MG TF 135 IN GREY
