    MGB High beam problems

    Hi guys, I have been having problems with my left high beam. It has been working on and off for a time. One day it would work without problems. Other days it would just randomly shut off and not come on. Today I decided to fix what I fought to be just a corroded contact surface. After removing...

    TR2/3/3A 59 TR3A Gearbox lever will not move.

    I recently rebuilt the engine and installed it with the gearbox. Now the shifting lever will not move out of gear. I have never had the car running, but it did shift fine before installing it. Any ideas?

    Hi, I have some questions about the turn signals on my mgb 1975. Neither my turn signals nor my hazard lights seem to be working. I have only tried the signals with the engine turned off due to the extreme cold here in Sweden right now, don't know if that has an impact. I am a bit clueless about...

    MGB Manifold plug

    Hi, I have a potential problem with the intake manifold on my MGB -1975. A plug bolt on the manifold won't fasten correctly. The bolt is loose and when trying to fasten the bolt will spin forever. It seems that the threads inside the manifold are torn (check the attached files). I am guessing...
