Very much enjoying the videos, as a new owner of a midget requiring restoration I’m finding them very useful, please keep them coming 👍 I noticed on your video you drove through Littleton and St Arildas in Oldbury 🤔 I’m assuming you are local to Bristol, do you know if there is a local mg club that meet up regularly?
Hey there thanks so much for your comments! Yes the best club I found is the midget and Sprite club. They meet the first Wednesday of the month at a pub.... but not sure if that's happening currently due to covid !
Subscribed a bit ago, but just clicked the bell icon for notifications because I can't wait for your next video. You took her off the jacks, eh? LOL, I could swear you were going to say it a little differently. Entertaining and informative, that's a good combination in any crowd. I'm in Western New York State, and have a '77 Midget that's a good driver, and currently restoring two Sprites, a '58 Sprite and a '59 Sprite, so just about anything you do will be relevant and eagerly consumed and added to the old bank of future knowledge to be tapped later after getting the entertainment out of it.
My Friend, 1979 California MG Midget, restoring...want to thank you for the video. I want to know-how good did the car run with windshield wiper fluid in the Radiator? Video was outstanding...thank you.
Andy... So how many screws/bolts did you finally find to remove the radiator. Where were they located. Was it four, six or ? I saw the four on the video however you kept talking about another two which you could not find. Great video as usual.
Hey there, the other two where meant to be midway up (as far as I can rememebr) near the heater ducting intake and similar position on the other side. The moss catalogue does a good explosive diagram on their website if in doubt !
I thought, as you had the radiator out, you might drain and flush the engine block as they can also block the water galleries with sediment and stop circulation of coolant around the cylinders. Never mind, maybe next time ?
@@AndysMGAdventures The reason I say that is that I just yesterday got my Midget out of storage and it overheated several times on the way home. This car has been restored and engine was stored for probably over 20 years. Low on water but there could be other reasons so its flush time for me. .

Rewatching, Andy, finally have everything lined up including the good weather, new rad, hoses, extra tall jack stands.
I have had that new radiator for over a year, lol, what a lazy slacker I am.

Could you provide links to all these parts? Just curious as to where you got them from as I have to do the same task over the winter.
I shall start doing this my son
Did you just really put windshield cleaner in your radiator? That is just crazy.
Lol. No it's antifreeze mixed with water in a sterilised washer fluid tub
Where do you get the vacuum hoses?
Pretty sure I ordered them from demon tweeks
@AndysMGAdventures where is this located at? I live in Texas USA
hi what temperature is the thermostat?
Standard I think. 180f 82c
Did you use wiper fluid instead of radiator fluid?
Haha nooooooooo old container
@@AndysMGAdventures ah Ok because it was also blue!
@@ntsecrets the coolant I use is blue my good man!
@@AndysMGAdventures I’ve never seen blue, seen red. You can see how I could get confused lol. Great video I bet cleaning it helped cooling a lot!

Ah well. Being newbie , it's baby steps for me. But yes, next time I will do that.

@@awalk5177 ahhhh. I'm very lucky. Refurbed engine with 10k on the clock and driven every other week!
@@AndysMGAdventures Perfect.
What is the small round 'plug' for on the rocker panel?
Not sure which one you mean sir !
@@AndysMGAdventures Our terminology is the likely the problem lol. Just below the door on each side there is a small round black rubber plug
@@kevinmopar1211 ah ha that is for the original jack the car came with.... not to be trusted though!
@@AndysMGAdventures Whens the next video Andy??
@@kevinmopar1211 my work has me at 14 hour days at the moment. Shan't be for a bit I'm afraid!
Hi any news on the car?
She's running really well! Apart from a worn fuel hose spitting fuel near the carbs! Lol. Anyways quick fix for that one by now
@@AndysMGAdventures when is the next video coming out
@@cluelessmgmidgetrestoratio6990 editing today sir.
