You must not have been on the list when I explained the cause of this 
problem.  MG's came from the factory with 3/4 inch larger tires on the 
driver's side.  In that way, when the extra weight of the driver caused 
the driver's side to sag, the car would be level.  Some previous owner 
has mistakenly put the same size tires all round.
