    Caleron? No peeps, Caerleon is pronounced carleeon. Good luck with the rest of Wales because the further North you go the harder it gets. Try LLanfairpwllgyygyll on Anglesey - and that's only half of it.

The most frustrating times are when you think you've filmed a task only to discover that your mic wasn't charged up or, worse yet, you forgot to turn on the camera!! There's been more than one occasion where I've had to reassemble something to re-film taking it apart!!! Keep up the great work... both on the car and the videos.

      ​@@themustardmidget drain well, mix in a handful of small bits of celery, maybe a little diced onion, mix in some mayo, slap it on any bread at all. Sometimes lettuce. There's a few "salads" people might make with tuna, either hot or cold, that could have bowtie shaped pasta, and green peas.

      ​@@themustardmidget also, I have a 77 Midget, and 58, 59 and 60 Frogeye Sprites. The Midget is a runner, we use it when there's no salt on the roads. The Sprites are being restored, slowly. We hope to move South eventually to anywhere that doesn't require slow plows and road salt. Until then, our MGs sleep under cover until April or the first good rain after the last snow of the year.

    Happy New Year. I'm a 77 Midget owner as of a few weeks ago. Could you please explain the purpose of opening that valve tap in the engine bay. Mine is seized shut and looks to have been for some time

    • @themustardmidget
      @themustardmidget 10 месяцев назад

      Happy new year to you too. The valve controls the coolant passing through the heater , in summer the hot water is not needed to pass through , check out an earlier video where I free ours off.

    When I picked up my 71 Midget and drove it home (a 3 day drive) in April, the last day was steady rain and about 34 F (1 C) and I didn't know I had to turn on the heat! BRRRRR!

      I should have also shown opening the flaps inside, really gets warm then.

      @@themustardmidget Yeah, although I've found that with our car, when the temperature is below freezing, the heater just can't keep up and blows 50 F air on us through those flaps. I'm guessing the core needs flushing or replacement.

    • @themustardmidget
      @themustardmidget 10 месяцев назад

      50f sounds low, I will check what ours measures at the flaps, I have flushed the system a couple of this, so that might be a plan.

    Wasn't it great when all cars were nice and simple like this and you had half a chance of working out what was going on. Didn't hear from Dawn in this latest offering so hope she is good to go and looking forward to another year of classic car bumbling. Ciao.

      Dawn is good thank you. She nearly got wet filming the ford.
