Just bought an MG...
Discussion
Something to play with at the weekend: http://www.orchardclassics.co.uk/1968mgbroadster.h...
also bear in mind there servicing and then full and proper servicing
if you can find a copy at a sensible price this will give you details of very full servicing - http://www.amazon.co.uk/MGB-Step-step-Service-Guid...
the excellent Driver's Handbook (not a manual) will also help with servicing and many other things you'll need to know about your purchase - (Ref: 0051) – http://www.mgocshop.co.uk/catalog/Online_Catalogue...
things like Haynes manuals I find as a non-mechanic to be unhelpful more times than helpful and they have errors in usually - Drivers's Handbook is better (but not for repairs or diagnostics)
for repairs - Workshop Manual (Ref: 0001) - http://www.mgocshop.co.uk/catalog/Workshop_Manuals... note I've never had this particular a copy
the Poter book will have diagnostics if it's the same as the Midget version
as for atricles on servicing im magazines I'm sure you know the over generalisation of those
you'll also want to find out about the 'donkey's dick'

v8250,
it's always been the 'donkey's dick' to me but each to there own
I don't let on as it's a useful test to these long term B owners to see if they actually use the car to know about it
I'm putting neither into my search engine - although I once type in a Grand 'S' tyre to see if it was original to a 25 year old car and only got two results one of which directly link me to a site with all sorts of sexual practices

Just been through the site and I'm obviously not looking the right place for a dd!
wow, you really are a jurno, superficial research I’ve just checked, it's there, referred to as a 'T**'* ****' in the section about the air box, if it isn't cleared out you can get damp carpeting, driver's wet leg and passenger's wet right leg, misty windscreen or wet carpet and soundproofing leading to rust
And the MG experience has kicked in already: the damn thing wouldn't start after I opened (and then closed of course) the distributor cap to check the points. After two days of fiddling and checking with a multimeter, turns out the central HT lead wasn't very tightly lodged in the coil socket, and disconnected itself from the coil terminal when I disturbed it. Grr. Working now, though.
