Not as such. I'd suggest joining the MG Car Club or similar (details probably in back of a classic car mag).

I know Nick as in the mod NCarring has one, but he is in Japan for the next 2 weeks.

Might be worth bumping the thread in a couple of weeks and I am sure he will share his knowledge.

wasn't there someone selling one a few weeks ago??

Try the MG owners club:

MG Owners' Club

Thanks guys. I've tried and looked at the Mg owners website which gives plenty of info regarding prices specs spares etc but no kind of owners comments which can be invaluable. Does anybody know of any forums for MG. I'll do a quick search. Thanks all.

Yep. You could try asking Johnwq.

From the looks of this thread, he may have some hints and tips...
