Hi=2C Kim.  I don't own a Midget=2C but perhaps someone in the British Moto=
r Club can help you=2C either with recommendations or repairs.

And=2C you don't need to wait until your car is road worthy to join the clu=
b.  In fact=2C joining would probably be the quickest way to get your car b=
ack on the road=2C since you'll have a wealth of knowledge=2C just for the =
asking.  Since there are no dues to join=2C it will also be the best invest=
ment you can make.

So=2C how about it members=2C can some one help Kim get the Midget back and=
 running smoothly?

Kim, sounds like your Midget has the 1500 Spitfire motor in it.  The 
'strange noises' could
be from a bad rod bearing, most likely #3, or from thrust washer 
issues.  Is it at all driveable?

Mike is taking some time off to go and visit Bill and Julie up in 
Oregon, so he won't
be around for a week.

Kim, if the car is driveable you could bring it by my place and I'll 
take a listen.  Let me know.
