Maestro Turbo 384

[Jeff Turbo]

Hi Guys.
Just wanted to let you all know that this will be my last ever post on the Forum.
After a very agressive response from a particular member (yes, you know who you are), without him even knowing the full facts about me, my health, or my car, or even checking, have decided to pull the plug on any future posts, so sorry folks.
Have several contacts, that apart from Roberts MG can certainly help with any future problems, including a contact with Daryl Davies ex from Motobuild , a renound MG expert who has given me some very valuable contacts for the Maestro Turbo..
Thanks JT, but due to me being in hospital you never gave me a proper chance to get back to you about your link.
You are a star mate !!!!!!!!

Well that's up to you isn't it but you didn't read all of the post, ' not having a go but' is what I said, I'm not a mind reader and don't know your in hospital, don't know you at all and you've taken the post completely the wrong way. But it's your decision and posting on any forum or Facebook page some people take things the wrong way, I'm not aggressive at all but say things as I see.

Hi All.
After getting the Turbo back from Roberts am still unfortunately having problems with a water leak. Contacted Matt from Roberts and he couldnt believe it. He fully pressure checked the system and showed no pressure drop, but on getting the MG out today to give it a good wash, there was a big puddle underneath on the garage floor. Also the battery was as flat as a pancake so had to use the jumper pack. cant believe the battery is duff as it was only new in October. Have removed the battery and put it on a slow charge for 24 hours.
Have decided to have a go at re-painting the Grill MG badge myself with some Acrylic paint, a small brush, and a steady hand.
Anyway, while cleaning the MG, the interior mats are looking very tired, so my next question, can you still get a set of original/proper Maestro mats?. Are the Turbo mats specific to this model or all the Maestro mats the same.
Many thanks Guys.
Best wishes
Tom.

I will ask again, did you try the link I put up? A simple yes or no would be an answer after the time I took to research it for you. Can't see the point in future trying to help you if it's just ignored, it's your thread so I'm guessing you've read it? Not having a go at you but if you're not willing to answer or try any link someone puts up, what's the point of try to help you, or for that matter asking in the first place

Thanks all. A very Happy New Year to all.
I might have a go at re-painting the original MG Badge with some Acyrlic paint and some fine brushes, either way, if this doesnt work then still might be able to get a replacement.

I masked and sprayed my badge with rattle cans. I'll try and post a pic up but I'm happy with it.

Hi Ian. I would recommend Roberts MG to any one with an MG, old ornot so old.
Apparently, regarding the Central Locking, there is another switch inside the drivers door that when you insert the key and unlock, it operates this switch which inturn activates the other locking solenoids. Roberts took this switch out and thoroughly cleaned it up (apparently you cant get them anymore) and since then the central locking has been working fine. you might be able to get one from a scrapper, but might have the same problems.
Roberts MG are brilliant at sorting any weird and wonderfull problems you may have so definately give them a go

Hi Jeff, I'm still looking for an MG grille for my Maestro, that guy doesn't list one. JRC7003, any ideas? thanks in advance. Simon

There is one on ebay atm, grille badge is upside down and its a bit expensive, but as needs must, David Smith may have one in his various spares

Little gold mine he's got there! Just need to remember it exists.

He's a nice bloke aswell. If you need him in the future, just look at this thread as I've linked it Ian. Can't keep all my suppliers a secret anymore, there's also another supplier of rare parts I've used in Nottingham.
