1984 MG Montego EFi with digidash

[Russ]

Hi jeff, coming on well, seat belts in rear are black as they are dealer rather than factory fitted. Seen this before on an mg1600. Mine had factory fitted and they were red

I think the rear belts are the same Jeff

put a pair of right hand ones in the efi they fit perfect

[Jeff Turbo]

More new parts arriving.
New offside seatbelt and new rear offside seatbelt.
I now have 2 new rear offside seatbelts, can these be used as nearside?

[Jeff Turbo]

really like the handbook, you got one going spare

No I haven't Steve, these were supposed to come with the car but when it arrived they wern't there so I complained .....just a bit.... and they arrived soon after.
Early book that shows the leccy window switches on the door panel prior to BL moving them to the centre consol.

These arrived today.
I also will be aquiring a newer dash display unit, complete wiring, sensors and a few other digidash parts from a friend in exchange for some early MG Montego Turbo parts.
Complete early headlining and sunroof surround, early electric window switches and early wiring loom. These are different to later (1987 on) cars.

think I may have a genuine Austin rover workshop manual just for the digi dash somewhere !! I'll see if I can find it for you , cheers

The Barn is a magical place indeed Grasshopper!

For parts yes but there are things flying overhead dropping bombs master and in various places there are carpets of dropped bombs accumulating

Started collecting the parts I didn't have today

Now have all four windows without a number plate etched on
Now got both drip trims in black
Now have a replacement exhaust manifold

Needed for the car
All door windows as all have been heavily scratched. (not sure if I have a set that doesn't have a number plate sketched on)
Both drip trims on the roof (have crome spares only)
Exhaust manifold is cracked (have a spare at Mal's barn)

just give me £5 for the postage and i will get it sent out for you

Thanks for the offer but as I was rummaging though my shed full of parts this afternoon looking for something, I found a brand new one in a box that i'd competely forgotten about

Might take you up on that, how much?

Nothing better than having an original Mk1 MG Monty Workshop manual to hand Jeff.

look forward to seeing this finished. i would love one of these or a 1985 turbo. I see the service light is on, how do you go about reseting that?

By the way i have a brand new rear light bulb check module for one of thoses should you need it

Might take you up on that, how much?

To reset the service light as follows:

Switch on ignition and ensure date is correct
Press and hold SELECT untill it displays english, briefly press SELECT again until screen goes blank
Press and hold RESET until OIL CHANGE appears, should be about 6 seconds release RESET
Press and RESET again until SERVICE RESET appears on right hand drive packs, again for about 6 seconds
Release RESET and press SELECT to revert to time and odometer.
Easy really according to my manual that Mal found for me. Ta Mal
