MGLondonRoadste replied to the topic New member. Need advice in the forum General Discussion 11 months, 4 weeks ago
One book you should have in your library if you own an air-cooled VW engine is How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive Step By Step Procedures for the Compleat Idiot by John Muir.
It is out of print, yet there seem to be plenty of used ones on eBay and Amazon or even antique stores in your area.
Even if you don’t do the work yourself, you should g…[Read more]

Thank you for the information. That is helpful. I will seriously reconsider.

Yet WHY? A member in my kit car club did it with little problem. What issues did you have?

We didn’t win a prize this time, yet we had a good time.
I discovered the night before the show, that the rim if my hubcaps is metal, yet the “wire” spikes are a chrome poly.
Apparently the company that made the metal-spike hub caps that rusted, is out of business. Maybe I will start saving up for real wire wheels. -

Ifled is very common – just kidding. Its a bad typo for idle.

MGLondonRoadste replied to the topic Electronic ignition in the forum General Discussion 1 year, 1 month ago
Thanks for the positive information.
Ive only driven the car about 18-20 miles for far. I think the iflecis set too low. The engine stalls when I down shift at stop lights. -

The shop that put in my new 1776cc motor wants to put in electronic ignition with a more powerful coil.
Is this an upgrade for the car or an upsell by the mechanic?

On Sunday October 29, 2023, the plan is to have my London Roader in the car and motorcycle show sponsored by the Arizona MG club, featuring British wheels in Peoria, Arizona at Centennial Plaza in downtown Peoria from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. I talked to them prior to registering and we will be in a “Specialty” class. New 1776cc VW engine, new rear bum…[Read more]

I’ll be getting a new top for my London Roadster hopefully this year. Any convertible top shop or sail maker probably could make one.

I ended up with outdoor cover for a ‘52 MG TD from California Car Cover Co. The London Roadster is a little smaller than a real TD, so the fit is loose. Yet it stays on and keeps weather out. It does not keep the feral cats from sleeping in it.

That’s good to know. Mine didn’t come with them. I’ll be ordering some very soon.

Is the rear bumper supposed to have two guards?

The London Roadster is a little smaller than my Fiber Fab car.

While backing out of its garage, my lady friend thought that she was too close to a parked car. She pulled forward and caught the rear bumper, bending it back. I’m told that it is an MG bumper, not a VW blade. Is Moss Motors the only shop in the USA that sells new replacement parts?

MGLondonRoadste started the topic Fuel filler tube on London Roadster in the forum General Discussion 1 year, 11 months ago
It seems that the fuel filler metal braided hose in my London Roadster with a side inlet is too small. Every time I try to fill the tank either with a pump nozzle at a gas station, or via a portable gas can, fuel flows back and spills on the side of the car, running board and ground. Has anyone else experienced this and have you changed it, and…[Read more]

MGLondonRoadste replied to the topic Rebuilt Engine installed tomorrow in the forum General Discussion 2 years, 1 month ago
Finally the car was delivered to its garage yesterday. I’m busy at work and haven’t been able to see it. Maybe I can see it this weekend.
The engine builder says it will have 100 to 120 hp, which is more than enough for this car. About 3 weeks ago, we thought it was going to be ready, except that the brakes failed on a test drive. We went wit…[Read more] -
