    Richard,

    That is a very kind offer but my Sprite has a 4.22 diff so I don't think I will be able to use yours but I will keep it in mind.

    Many Thanks.
    Colin

    Colin,
    If you are unsuccessful I may be able to help - I have a spare
    SN6142/06A. 1376 which I understand is for 3.9 diff.

    I will need to sleeve the trip rod as the knurled knob bit has parted company- rather a silly crossed drilled pin in the 3mm shaft sheared it seems. A new dash rubber seal wood be good also as now rather solid. Mileage say 6k !!! Probably add another few !

    Thanks Dave

    The picture appears the right way up when selected and then inverted in the post.

    The joys of MG!

    For those in the northern hemisphere.

    Using modern Lucas parts is asking for trouble. They are cheaply made, out of spec and unreliable. The best points by far are from Distributor Doctor. I use nothing else and have suffered zero failures or other issues. His condensers are also top notch.

    British Vacuum Unit in the USA is also very good. I've used their parts with no issues as well.

  • Steve Simmons20 May 2026

    The same switch failed in my MGC and I was able to rebuild it too. It's been fine for several years since. One rebuild in 60 years? Unacceptable! :)

    Nothing available for our cars today is a well made or reliable as original Lucas parts.

    My speedo (Mk2 Sprite) has just stopped working including the trip and odometer. It was my fault, tried to zero the trip whilst driving, should have done it stationary - I’m so brassed off!! Need to get it fixed, might try JDO or is there anywhere Lancashire based?

  • David Billington20 May 2026

    If the speedo is working and the odometer not but the trip meter is, that would suggest a mechanical problem as both the trip meter and the odometer are mechanically coupled to the input. The speedo needle is only magnetically coupled.

  • Les Rose20 May 2026

    I had good service from JDO. I don't think lubricating cleaners are recommended for these speedos, although in my callow youth I used WD40 with success. I would go for JDO.

  • Les Rose20 May 2026

    Now I am up a gumtree. In 2015 I bought slave GSY113 and adapter 21K8564. The adapter has male end 7/16" UNF, and female end 3/8" UNF. It is actually for an MGA. These came from Sussex Classic Car Parts, now closed down. See photo 1. They are available from other suppliers. So I asked MGOC Spares to check that these would fit together. They say that they don't. Looking at other suppliers, they al...
