Lovely! I think this is my next jib as the clutch is not engaging and I still have fluid in the reservoir.

If the car attracts flies, like yours, that indicates a problem.

Hi. Looking for part #1. Need to know how to take off the wipers motor

Hello Andy. I love your videos and your humor. They have been very informative. I am surprised at some of the mean comments. I just turned a Young 80. You bring good advice to allot of us and make things bright and cheerful. I just picked up a 1973 Midget in pretty good shape. Very little surface rust. Has round heel arches. Oil cooler. It is all there. 63,000 original miles. Pure original. It had been stored for 30 yrs. It should start once have battery. Carbs cleaned up. New distributor etc. I am very cited to have fun project at my age. When I graduated from high school in 1962 Dad bought a Bugeye sprite. That was so much fun. So finding this one is great. Question. Where can I find a detailed parts list that shows size of screws and bolts. The yellow plastic fan and radiator were taken off and all the nuts and bolts missing. I called Moss and they don’t show size of nuts and bolts

such a fantastick car had on since 1974 still have

Is that a cooper s head on that with a extra head bolt hole near thermostat

Sir what i want to know is any adjustment on seats and steering wheel ? Im just around 6'1" and a bit portly....ahem a wee bit....

Bummer. I guess I’m a year late to the midget party. 🥺

I'm so sad that i've only this week discovered your channel. I just bought my first MG Midget last week and love it. I found a few of your videos in doing a bit of research and have really enjoyed your content. Thank you for producing these!

My 4 gears work, but my reverse doesn't. My pops messed it up. I would love to learn how to do just that. Or is that what this video is about? Im just here to learn to fix my midget! Please help.

Great work and video! Thanks!

Well heck, I’ve been doing it wrong all these years. No wonder my windows were marred up.

How do you get bonnet up when the cable is not working. Been sitting for 32 yrs. 1973 RWA. Folks had a Bugg Eye Sprite when I was 15. Now I just found this 73 with no rust and all original to be my project as I just turn 80. Your Videos are Super. Stephen, Walla Walla, Washington USA

You over filled the Ez bleed bottle so there was not enough pressure in th system...

To turn the engine you can just jack up the rear wheel and put the car in top gear then rotate the wheel with an appropriate large spanner on the nuts or just the wheel itself to make the engine rotate.

Almost every one will have some bondo in the front of the hood, as this area is very vulnerable to damage from newer cars with higher bumpers. Check the inside for poor bodywork. A little bit is not a deal killer, but bondo over rust isn’t ideal. Also check for rust in the battery box.

do you still have the mg?

Best MG video I’ve seen so far.

Present. And erect. lol

Just pull the valve cover off, start the engine, and adjust the tappets while the engine is running.

I have owned 2 Midgets that I purchased both when they were brand new, right off the showroom floor. I liked the mustor color so much that I chose that color for each 🚗. My first MG-MIDGET was a 1972 model with Chrome bumpers. Later after selling that car and wishing I hadn't, I purchased my second Midget, but by then it had those ugly rubber bumpers. The second Midget, also a mustor color, was a 1976 model. I know how emotional it is when you identify with your car. My next car was a "British Green" Triumph Spitfire. However, I got married and my wife and I started our family. We had 6 children, three sons and three daughters, so the two-seater 🚗 were not an option for us.

Had a 66 midget, a guy in Canton OH made door hinges and hand formed rocker paanels.

Do you know how much the Keith minis are worth?

I had a 1973 ... I put a Toyota starlet 5 speed gearbox, coby exhaust and custom air box. It was so cool... I blew up driveshaft. Fixed that and it was possibly the coolest car I’ve ever driven. Slide round corners... and heaps of power. Ohhh reminisce... now I have 4 kids (under 6) and a Mitsubishi people mover 😏

Thank you for your videos, always informative and fun. However I do not understand this one. The moment the car is with front wheels on the ramps, and you jack it up at the rear, it would slide off the ramps, because the handbrake is only on the rear wheels, at least mine does...?

Andy, why is there no further videos of the mini

great video very useful

My bonnet spring and locking mechanism unwind constantly with the vibration of the running engine. About once a month or so, I screw the lock up to 5cm from the underside of the bonnet. It's about a 30 second job and keeps stuff where it ought to be.

Why do you have to treat this like a big joke. It doesn’t need you to behave like an idiot.

This is a really good video man I just did this on my recently past grandfathers 1970 midget and sm I did differently if you ever have to do the slave again there’s just barely enough room to reach your hand up and around the trans and that frame to get that top bolt in without the notch definitely a little bit more tricky but you can do it now I just have to struggle bleeding it wish me luck

Does anyone know where I can buy it?

Nice presentation. Yours is the first one I've come across that actually showed where to place the stands and at what mounting point, vs just telling you where they go.

Video ruined by awful music! 😮

hi do you know where the choke cable comes out to in the engine bay? ta

great video, can I just add having done quite a few of these, on occasion, the pressure in the line, whether pumping the pedal , Eezibleed or whatever, if the bleed nipple is not open enough the piston in the slave cylinder can move and air can stay in the cylinder, clamping the pushrod so it doesn't move usually cures this.

Great video. I am about to buy my first, mk3 67. It needs a bit work, and I am totally knew to this, no experience handling cars more than driving them. Would you please share some tips I ought to know? The very basics, tools, places to order possible parts, parts (in the car) to pay extra attention to and learn its name/meaning. Thanks.

Hi Andy, I just bought a bargain priced 1971 Midget, basically an older restoration in good condition just in need of a little fettling. This video is going to help me do my first mechanical job, so thank you.

Rewatching, Andy, finally have everything lined up including the good weather, new rad, hoses, extra tall jack stands.

THANKS Andy good job

Where do you get the vacuum hoses?

Just found your channel, recently purchased a Midget, I'm glad you got a new four wheeled friend.

MG meets are always usually good. Spoilt though by a few who can't rely on the car to get them there they trailer them Instead...😢

Looking at a supposedly spotless 1980 black one. £15000 so not cheap. Any advice there? Low mileage good or bad? Paul

Andy! So glad I found you again! I can't believe it's been so long. Hope the families good my friend.

Good year to be born, it’s my 40th tomorrow.

Dash pot oil specified by SU is SAE 20 Which equates to auto transmission fluid

Hello Andy, the rear GB badge on Margo, from were did you get it and how did you fix it on please Ps please buy another, kids grow up lol . Then we can have a new series for us late comers. Fantastic content mate Ta Anthony

Fantastic vlogs love em, how did you fix your replacement poppers on please, do you have a blog on them, cheers Anthony

Hi Andy After hearing your comment about not using braided fuel pipes, which i had purchased via MGOC Called them and they confirmed the braided fuel pipes they supply are in excess of the E10 requirement and have been for 10+ years as many country's worldwide have had the fuel for a long time. So I thought i would let you know. Have just finished fitting mine when looking at your video for clues of the routing of the fuel and brake pipes under car or in transmission tunel??? Can you advise??? Great videos Mark
