matthew.jones@kcl.ac.uk asked about springs and hangers.
I replaced the rear springs on my midget just a month ago. The set of springs
and
hangers cost about 70 pounds I seem to remember. They're easy to find in any
MG
parts place, like MOSS or M&G or somewhere. Removal of the old ones and
fitting the
new took my dad and I about 4 hours, including the obligatory tea stops. This
included
time to sort out two stripped threads on the hanger-to-body mounts. It should
be
possible to do it in about 3 hours if all goes to plan.
>From your mail it sounds like you want someone else to do it - am I right ?
If so, then you'll need to allow for about 4 hours of labour plus parts, say
4*40 + 70 = 230 pounds. It sounds an awful lot of money to me, for what is an
easy afternoon job.
Hope this helps.
Your oil pressure gauge sounds a bit like mine. I traded my oil pressure gauge
for
a combined oil-pressure / temp gauge, which always reads about 10 lb/ft2 less
than
the old one. As long as you know what to expect you'll be OK.
