I believe Marcus is in the process of doing this (based on email that Marcus sent IanQ and myself)

I also think he may be Colin but I posted a response to a post of his on 2nd asking him join up so that he could access the full site to which he didn't respond. Obviously it's not high on his priority list but does mean that he is asking for information that would be readily available to him if he was a member.

There was a press release from Ford that lowered the recommended gear box capacity to about 3.2 (Look for the thread). I went half way and put in about 3.4 litres.

Hi Nich,

I understand. 260 (+), I'm not a MGOC member, but a MGCC member. Does that work too?

Your best off asking Tim
If you intend to you the MGOC then that might be good enough?
Cheers

I think that the intend to join would get you started but Tim would need a membership number going forward.
I believe part of the reason is that this forum is hosted on a MGOC server
