New member has a hot problem

[v8_bri]

Thanks for the quick replys. I will fill in my questionnaire tommorow night as i have an early start in the morning and definitly need my beauty sleep. I didn't put the name of dealer as i was not sure of rules about that sort of thing. I live near southampton so i used seawards in portsmouth who seviced my car and seemed ok until this problem. Don't want to bash them to much but being a main dealer i thought they would know of this problem as seems very common. I have had a look at the valve myself since i got the car home and looks like an easy job to do myself or am i kidding myself? I am no stranger to working on cars as i also own a rover p6 3500s and a tvr griffith which keep my hands oily. Are there any hidden problems with the swap?

Unlike many forums we're pretty relaxed on here about naming people - where it's justified, Sewards have a pretty good name generally, the issue is there are few people out there with modern MG V8 knowledge and that's where this forum really helps.

If you keep your hands oily you've have no issue with the valve

I'm only in W Sussex so not a million miles from you

Welcome to the forums! Seems they have a bit of thing for not knowing common problems. My car was originaly sold and serviced by Sewards and had a leak in the boot. Only on the paperwork it liettraly says "Repaired but still leaks under heavy pressure"

Erm, that's not fixed then is it?!

Took nick at Austins and a windscreen guy they use an hour, new clips and all was sorted no more leaky boot

Hi guys
I have filled in my questionaire but my e-mail is not working. I have spoken to a friend on the same provider (sky) as me and his is not working either. If i can't sort it myself a tekkie mate of mine is coming over tommorow to try get it working. Thanks for the welcome and advice and i hope to go green soon.
Colin do you ever go to the goodwood breakfast club meetings?

[wraith01mg]

Welcome along. Mine has a manual valve. So if it's a hot day I just turn the valve off. I get snow out of the ac then. Lol

Welcome along Bri. My cabins getting warm now too, but since it's winter here I no longer mind! In a few months time I'll be writing to Black Olive too!

[v8_bri]

Well tekkie mate has done the trick so tim should have my questionnaire now. Hope all the info needed is in there.
Black olive could you let me know how i go about getting my hands on one of your valves?
Roger i expect the winters in new zealand are the same as our normal abysmal summers
