MGTF clock replacement, finally something has stopped working!
Another video in the Steve’s amateur ( A MATE U R ) garage series. This time the clock has broken on his MGTF daily driver, now with 103,000 miles on the clock. It’s about time as the car has been tremendously reliable over the years. So can the amateur mechanic replace the clock? It should be a relatively straight forward job! This video should also be relevant to owners of an MGF as they are very similar.

Hi, Yes good tip. Many thanks. Regards Steve
I have replaced my instrument cluster and clock and oil temp gauge with MG LE500 items!
Hi, That sounds good, nice work, many thanks for your comment, most appreciated.
Great tutorial - I am considering doing this to swap the positions of the oil temp gauge to the drivers side to where it should have been designed to be!

Hey steve new subscriber here! I have the twin of your car same colour and year I'm having issues with the steering every time at low speeds I turn the wheel right and there's like a grinding sound only on the right the left is fine iv had it in to the garage as I'm not really in a position to do it myself he inspected the whole front suspension arms joints etc and said he can't find anything wrong he even checked If it was rubbing the arch but nothing he then just said its probably just age but I don't know it does seem to be gradually getting worse so I'm kind of at a loss really?? 🤔
Hi Ben, Many thanks for subscribing, most appreciated. Bit of a difficult one to advise without hearing it first hand. Clearly something is wearing out especially if the noise is getting worse! Sorry I can’t be more helpful, in this case. Regards Steve

Hi Steve, nice to see another guy working on a TF, I recently did a full refurb on my TF front end, took the subframe off the car and changed everything but the suspension struts, I had the same problem with my track rod ends, I just cut the off. The hardest job was the ball joints, I had to heat them up and use a lone breaker bar. I did a clean the brakes up, the problem I had there was the retaining pins seized, my car has AP callipers which are aluminium and it corroded badly, I had to cut them and knock them out with a small punch, it was very satisfying driving the car after with no squeaks rattles or knocks.
Hi Mark, Many thanks for your comment, most appreciated and well done on the front end refurb, as you so rightly say, the feeling of satisfaction with a job well done is very pleasing. Regards Steve
Lovely car , nice video, thanks
Hi, Many thanks for your comment, most appreciated. Regards Steve
I’ve recently changed the front bearings of my TF using the same kit, I did it slightly differently by clamping the large nut in vice with the long bolt from the kit sitting vertically and the hub horizontal.
Hi, Yes, good idea, many thanks for your comment.
Great video. Well done. Very informative

I have just come into possession of on MG Midget ( year 1971) and was interested in your comment about the ignition light being on. My ignition light is on constantly, is that a problem?
Hi, Many thanks for your comment, most appreciated. Usually the red light would indicate the alternator is not charging the battery, so be careful you may find the battery will run down. On my MGTF the red light came on while driving home one evening, I got about ten minutes of driving before it final coughed a spluttered to a halt, almost made in home!
@@SteveMoore-360 Think my midget has a dynamo rather than alternator. Just not sure if the ignition little red light is supposed to stay on all the time.
Gentle recommissioning and repair to retain as much of the originality as possible. Wouldn’t cost the earth and could be done quite quickly.
Hi, Many thanks for your comment, most appreciated. Yes that seems like the most sensible suggestion, watch this space. Regards Steve
@@SteveMoore-360 As they say it’s only original once. Space is being watched 👍

Nice job of fitting a tow bar to an e-type. I wonder what it towed?
Hy Roger, in Germany was a Owner with an 1970 ots, series two with a towbar in the 80th and 90th, he got permision by the registration Office for 1360 kg. I by myself construted for my 2+2, as well from 1970, a towbar, original was this build for the Ford Siera, and that one can tow 1450kg. Wishes, Dieter
Hi Roger. Many thanks for your comment, always appreciated, that’s an easy one to answer, it towed our family caravan, we had 3 or 4 years of caravan holidays up and down the country when we were growing up, they were the good old days. Regards Steve
Good morning Steve, really a very good video. You showed with full physical contortions how this construction is constructed and attached to the E-Type. Was this towbar available for purchase through the accessories distribution or was it customised. Something like that in the UK, had it to be accepted by a MOT Inspection Workshop and the Goverment Car registration Office. I would like to keep in touch with you directly via e-mail regarding the e-type. Let me know if that would be possible. About your E-Type, do you know the you Tube Channel from Maikel Lemke? He is a Friend of me and we playing together with the Parts and E-Type components. Thanks for your perfekt Video. Best wishes, Dieter
Hi Dieter, Many thanks for your message, glad you liked the video. Please feel free to contact me directly on stevemoore3@hotmail.co.uk I think the tow bar was made specifically for my dad’s car by a local engineer, he had a marine engineering firm and would have been capable of making one off tow bars for all types of cars. Yes I watch your friend Maikel, he is very knowledgeable and interesting to watch. Look forward to hearing from you. Regards Steve
I think that you’ll always regret selling it ; I prefer the coupe to the roadster, as do many. History and originality obviously cannot be replaced and one in this unrestored condition must be a very rare example. If it were mine, I’d do what I could myself to get it running and then get the bodywork sympathetically restored by a specialist. There are so many mint examples around which look amazing but lack character. If you keep that lovely patina I’m sure you won’t regret it.
Hi, Many thanks for your comment, wise words indeed and most appreciated. Regards Steve
Nice selection of classic cars and a great day out! The Ferrari looks stunning, although I do really like your e-type, thats my kind of car, I dont mind it being slower! Regards.
Hi Roger, Many thanks for your comment, always appreciated. Have a good weekend. Regards
Is there any after Market products to stop the leaky roof on a rainy day 🤔, such as specialized roof seals?....(I've seen some videos of leaky roofs)..🤔...
Hi Karl, No I do not know of any after market products for roof seals, but I do use Wurth Rubber Fit, it helps to revive rubber seals, use it regularly. It will never stop a leak but I am sure it helps. Regards Steve
Looked like a great drive at the beginning 👍

Ive heard of titanium ball joints which last for years - have you considered them at all - for eventual replacements 🤔
Hi Karl, Yes, my ball joints were replaced about three years ago with Hill Engineering ball joints, they are much better than the originals and not had any knocking so far. Regards Steve
Hi Steve, an wonderful early and very original e-type. I‘am going on in the moment on a restauration of an early hadertank and aswell i change a Brand new hadertank, made out of brass, to a stile, looking similar to the originals with the weldet flange around. Regards, Dieter

Hallo Steve, i‘am Dieter from Germany. I owner of as well an 2+2 Jag, but it‘s a series 2. I konstracted a towbar for my E-type to tow our 1971 Caravan. Can ey get from you more Information and picture‘s from You about the towbar on your E-type? Best regards. Dieter
Hi Dieter, Thanks for asking, I may shot another video this weekend and show the tow bar in detail. Will upload it next week and I hope it will help you. Regards Steve
Beautiful e-type. Credit to your brother. Engine bay looks stunning. Nice exhaust manifolds. Do those triple carbs stay in tune for long or do they need regular tuning?
Hi Roger, I will have to get back to you later in the season on that one as Tony only acquired the car end of last year, so hopefully he will take it out a few times this year, weather permitting and then we will discover how reliable it is. Thanks for your comment most appreciated as always and watch out for more E Type content coming soon. Regards Steve
Thank you. Seeing so many 21st century Ferraris in one place was enlightening for me. I begin to understand why Frank Stephenson rated the Roma higher than the 296. Also, the 360 looks more like another model instead of a 25 year old design. No one mentions fuel consumption but can the 360 really be as thirsty as 11 mpg city and 16 mpg highway?
Hi Many thanks for your comment most appreciated, you are right the 360 still looks like a current design and yet it is 23 years old. I still say wow every time I take the covers off it. Have not checked the fuel consumption, will have to do that but 16 mpg on a steady run seems a bit low! Regards Steve
Ferrari is looking very smart!
Hi, Many thanks for your comment, appreciate it. Regards Steve
Appreciate the video. I have a 360 and need to replace the shock absorber bushings (Silent Blocks on top, bushings on the bottom). Are they pressed in? If so, can they be carefully "tapped" into place with a socket that fits over the end of the bushing? Also, are they cemented with Hysol epoxy? Lastly, must the spring be compressed to remove the shock absorber from the car? Thanks.
Hi, Many thanks for your comment, most appreciated. Firstly the shock absorbers can be removed from the car without compressing the spring. I have not replaced any Silent blocks or the bottom bush, but the workshop manual says push them out with a press, no mention of glue to reassemble. Ball joints yes, glued back into place. Hope that helps and good luck with the job. Regards Steve
Restore it. It’s a beautiful car with memories attached. Eventually they will go up in value.
Hi, Many thanks for your comment, most appreciated. Regards Steve
I’m only three minutes in and I’m already thinking , geez….you can’t sell it. You have to restore it! Or maybe do something like Chuck @ Monocoque has done to a similarity rested car and sympathetically recommission it.
Hi, Many thanks for your comment, most appreciated. Regards Steve
F/TF’s tend to be more reliable the more they are used, my own TF was my only car for about 10 years and never had much problems with it.
Hi, Many thanks for your comment and yes I am sure the daily use had helped its reliably. I have had a few Audi TT with similar mileage but the alarm will have stopped working, the radio will definitely have been changed and the key fob will be intermittent! The little MG is starting to impress!
Still my only car had mine for 6 years Edit - had no trouble so far
Seems a pity to sell the Jaguar but if you get more enjoyment from the Ferrari then maybe it's time to have a spring clean. Looks like you have your hand full with all the others! Happy Easter bytheway.
Hi Roger, Good to hear from you as always, yes plenty of jobs to keep me entertained, probably for a lifetime! Just thought I would throw the E Type offer out there and see what , if anything comes back! Happy Easter to you too, I am off to the garage for a full day of rubbing down. Regards Steve
That family provenance you have with the Jag makes me surprised you'd part with it for anything. 30k is pretty reasonable for any E Type these days in my opinion and from the sounds of it that is only a three owner car? People do also get fixated on mileage and I'm guessing that doesn't have that many having been laid up for so long? I'm with the concensus and a partial resto to roadgoing standard would be my suggestion too. Running and driving would certainly make that 30k look cheap and likely wouldn't take that much work, might be worth doing that to get more for it if you decide you do want to sell after all? TF is looking good, my 160 is at about 97k but has been used all winter so will need some pampering in the next few weeks, bit of surface rust on the sill and some above the rear bumper in the centre which I am guessing is where the bolt goes through. Will have to get after that soon as keeping on top of it early seems to be easier than a big fix. Still an absolute hoot to drive so hope you enjoy yours again very soon now she's out.
Hi, Good to hear from you as always, yes keeping on top of the bodywork issues early is far easier than tackling it later. I am sure using the TF as my daily driver has helped in the reliability stakes, it is really pretty good. I will take the hardtop off soon and enjoy some open top motoring. Regards Steve

My other half swears by ko-cho-line leather dressing. Used it on some of my straps and boots and it is pretty good, worth a try to help the strap longevity?
Hi, Many thanks for your comment, yes Ko Cho looks like a good product, the straps are made by my saddler friend so it makes good sense.
Interesting collection of cars! Stunning scenery!Thanks for taking the time to post it.
Having recently subbed as you know, I've just been slowly catching up with your other content. For me, that's a no-brainer Steve, the provenance and family history mean you just have to restore it. That won't be cheap or easy but it just has to be done, what a wonderful machine it is. My other half has an MGB GT that her grandad bought new and we do whatever we can to keep it running and driving - and this is where things like these need to be, out there on the roads being driven and inspiring new people.
Hi, Many thanks for your comment, most appreciated and thanks for watching my videos. Consensus of opinion seems to be not to do a full nut and bolt restoration but do a sympathetic get it back on the road restoration, the idea is growing on me, will make a decision soon. Regards Steve
Restore it.

That red light is a choke warning light, and EVERY original header tank i have seen rusts through (poor quality )
Hi Malcolm, Many thanks for your comment most appreciated, I will let my brother know about the red light choke warning light, and I believe he has purchased a replacement header tank. Roll on summer!
So could have done with this video about eight months ago when I tackled mine on the drive. I swapped that inner spacer and bolt for the Mike Satur stainless kit as that's such a heavy corrosion area, I wanted to make future swaps easier. I had no tool that could get purchase on the curved underside of the arm so ended up having to lever it off by popping it off the ball joint with a 4ft crowbar.... joy!
Hi, Many thanks for your comment and subscribing, most appreciated. Well done on swapping that arm out on the driveway, that’s never easy. Please watch out for more MG content coming soon. Regards Steve
