MG Montego Turbo goes

[Jeff Turbo]

Coil now all bolted in and tidied up, servo replaced and.......still no brakes, replaced again with one of my serviced servos and........better but still no brakes. Will have to bleed the whole system next and check for leaks. Love the way it starts on the key with no messing at all. This is also vacating my barn next week to a new garage near me in Lincoln so we/I can complete it earlier

Great news Jeff, back on the road for 2017? I see its still suffering from some of the previous owners tack lol.

Ho yeah, And yes the car WILL be finished in 2017 even if I have to do it myself. It's already way past any deadline but with the amount left to finish 2017 it is. Wasn't supposed to take nearly 6 years

After lying dormant since March. We finally have some time to spend on this on sunday. Only a couple of hours but at least its something

[Jeff Turbo]

Although the car runs it's very lumpy and hit and miss on running properly so....new parts going in on one of my spare carbs.
The carb on it was from my black turbo that a problem started. I swopped over another and cured it. Although I cleaned all the problem started again on this car. Big flat spot so I will replace with another
