1984 MG Montego EFi with digidash

[Jeff Turbo]

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

[Jeff Turbo]

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.

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.

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?

[Guest]

I think the rear belts are the same Jeff

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

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

Thanks Steve

They should be black I know but I much prefer red ones, more classy

Jeff, I reckon you're a cleptomontiac!

Been experimenting with the rear belts to turn these old grey front belts to these, new front belts.
Have tested and found they work perfectly, fit ok and look great.
The front and rear belts are nearly the same so I have modified them to fit the front.

Going to be busy tomorrow then on the MG EFi and my sons Turbo

I owned one of those talking dash montego's years ago - nice to see one again. It was a light metallic green A reg (1984) MG 2L EFI. Nice car - had the digital speedo go up to 120mph once - on a private road of course lol. How many are left today i wonder? The trip computer can be way out and light bulb senors can fail easily if i remember correctly. Good project Jeff - looking forward to the finished article.

PS - does it still talk?

Wasn't talking as the radio wasn't plugged in. I now have another complete digi dash set up, wiring loom, sensors, talking unit etc courtesy of Rick just in case it was something else.
