Did either of you two get a picture of where to look/feel for the is clevis/pin/hole wear?
Local garage has a MG rover guy and he said its definitely the bearing but not to worry as he's seen it a few times.
He also pointed out my leaking IMG
So this raises more questions - is this a DIY job and if it's as involved as the clutch, how does one organise a "do stuff" meet?
I've got some interest (say hello Nath) so it would be nice/preferable to at least consider fixing her up. There's an awesome abetoire nearby so top rate BBQ to be expected!
I hate to ask but what are these actually worth in parts? So far I can think, and these are just wild guesses:
Shell/scrap - 200
wheels with new tyres - 300
inlet manifold - 150
sports cat - 70
engine without mani - 250
tax refund - 125
gearbox - 50
about a grand total? Not so much that I'd break one car, as I'd be fixing many more...
I'm keeping the janspeed box for the next car!
