No…………..some of us are still traumatised from when he had the last one!

Hi Rylan

Nice to hear from you. All well?

Are you thinking of getting another Sprite?

Cheers

Dave, I have kinda the same car as yours, a 2003 MGZTT
Had some issues lately, swapped engine but still have two warninglights on: ABS and engine-check.
Things is they cant get in the computer anymore...
If my local garage cant I need to go to a MG-Roverspecialist who still has the software/stuff to get in.

Other engine runs nicely tho and I like the car so hopefully we have it sor...

Hi Rob, my tacho has been fixed three times now and has failed again. Who is your trusted instrument maker in Melb? Thanks, Ewan

I dug out some genuine BMC old stock today. The lower is 7/8" long and the upper is 5/8" - but the most important difference is that the upper has has a rubber shoulder which stands proud and is backed by the rebate of the steel insert, giving an OD of 1-1/8". The lower by contrast just has a tube steel insert , and after the 9/16" tapered section it just runs parallel for the last 1/4". Hopefully...

Trying to remember Dave, but I think the brake light switch operates as a brake pedal position switch as well as a light switch and if the pedal gets bumped accidentally back too far the switch gets knocked back out of position.
From memory the deal is, push the pedal down and while it's held down, push the switch towards the pedal,it should slide(semi stiff), then slowly release the pedal---T...

My delay in updating has been due to a puzzling misfire issue but I think this is now sorted by some new plug leads...

Brake lights functioning fine now.

It's an auto, so one less complication.

The slot that the fuse found itself in had only one terminal. The other side was empty.

I've eliminated the ‘set' switch and rotary coupler. Going to try swapping the CC ECU next.

Who was it that said “electronics is the new rust”?

Just a little thread drift for Dave-sorry guys
The brakelight circuit is the usual culprit
I'm thinking your switch might be faulty
Even with the fuse in the wrong hole the lights shouldn't stay on
Maybe that was the correct hole and the switch is staying on
Do the stoplights work correctly with the fuse in the hole you have it in
Also, if the cars a manual gearbox car, there's ...

Interesting---
I always thought my y was 6/49- most of the records point to that, but just looked at the springs and they're both 07/49 -- I'm going to pretend I didn't look
