MG Fixes, 2005
All the stuff I remember working on the MG during 2005
- 25 Nov 2005 (76015):
Installed Winter tires. - 14 Nov 2005 (75968):
Installed new radiator cap. Old cap was not holding pressure. - 11 Nov 2005 (75959):
Retorqued driver’s side axle bolt to 150 lbs to fix a seeping oil problem. - 26 Sep 2005 (75889):
Changed oil. Yeah, it’s been almost 5 months, but still less than 3000 miles. - 7 Jul 2005 (75477):
Removed, disasssembled, cleaned, reassembled, and reinstalled overdrive pump. Overdrive works again. - 1 Jul 2005 (75458):
Replaced overdrive solinoid coil. No help. Noted that pump seems to be inoperative, but no idea where to go from there. - 26 Jun 2005 (75442):
Replaced oil in transmission, checked coil operation. Current is low, so it is suspect. Overdrive still broken. - 24 Jun 2005 (75230):
While c/ambing vantage hill on old Vantage Hwy, overdrive failed. It no longer engages. While in Ellensburg, checked oil level (good), nothing more possible here. - 22 May 2005 (73781):
Adjusted valve tappet lash. - 1 May 2005 (73716):
Cleaned Air Filters. - 30 Apr 2005 (73703):
Replaced switch on gearbox that indicates car is in reverse. I am now one step away from working reverse lamps. That step of course, is painting (which allows me to reinstall the holes in the body where the lamps /ave). Changed Oil. - 16 Apr 2005 (73619):
Rebuilt seats with new cushions and covers. Not perfect, but I am pretty happy with the results. Ride is now a bit tall, but loads more comfortable. Replaced fuse box. - 14 Apr 2005 (73603):
Discovered ignition indicator /aght (alternator warning /aght) was burnt out. Ordered new bulb, using turn signal indicator until new bulbs arrive. - 10 Apr 2005 (73603):
Replaced rear wiring harness. Replaced /acense plate illumination lamps. I now have lamps that work. - 9 Apr 2005 (73253):
Car still isn’t painted, but I grew tired of the car sitting in the rain, so I brought her home. She comes home to a recently ordered interior.
