The Magnettes use a 'fuzz' that has no rubber seal on it, I thought the MGB's is both trim and door seal is it not? The 'Austin' doors of the Magnette carry the dust seal. A Magnette has four doors,

If a 'B' series is not leaking oil, its empty; that goes for the 'A' series as well. Bit like the XPAG, if its not clattering, its not running!!! Neil

Dear Joe, The front dampers on the Midget are Armstrong units, identical to those used on the British Aistin A30, A35 and A40 Farina. All that goes wrong with them is the seals wear away, and they le

Ben, I was not having a dig at you, but at the 'term' used. You actually make my point with those particular models. All had engines especially developed for them;- The MG 1300 Metro's 1275 'A' serie
