  1. ..not on the TR (although that is quite firm and needs a fair weight on the pedal with the old style twin master cylinder) but on the Midget. This is an early car (Oct '61) and has a similar twin master cylinder to the early TR's. It is drums all round and after adjusting the brakes the pedal is really firm (it was quite firm before) and takes quite a press to brake hard. The master cylinder was replaced about 6 years ago and the brakes have always required some pressure but they just seem much firmer now. The rear wheel cylinders were replaced at a similar time to the master, and the fro
  2. We didn't go into the museum on this visit, they had given us permission to park up for a short stop and look at the outside exhibits on this occasion. We've been into the museum before - it's a great museum, I've seen the simulator but not been in, its always been popular on previous visits, I believe that you have to book a slot to experience it.
  3. Sounds a good day. We met up with others from the MGOC at Oving for a coffee and then went on a pleasant run to Tangmere Aviation Museum where the South Hants Vehicle Preservation Society were visiting on their run - some very nice cars including a TR4. We then went on to Boxgrove Priory and afterwards the route went through Eartham, Slindon and on to Bury where we left the route (as we had some other things to do this afternoon) and the rest of the group went on to Bignor, Sutton, Duncton and then East Dean where a picnic stop was planned, and then to West Dean Gardens for tea
  4. It's a lovely morning for your run Richard, hope it goes well. We're going to get the Midget out and meet up with the Chichester MGOC group at Oving for Coffee and a run afterwards

Lovely sun this morning, a couple of light showers around lunchtime, then sunshine again when I decided to pop to our local Churchyard to do a bit of green bin filling only to experience heavy rain/sleet/hailstones. All good stuff - what is the car meet you are at tomorrow? We have the choice of a Sadcase Pagham breakfast run or the local MG club coffee meet at Oving and then run to a pub for lunch tomorrow.
  6. A dig around t'internet comes up with this link to a list on the TR Register France webpages. On there it says that Pearl White for the era is ICI code 2857. My car was originally Pearl White and when it was restored ~11 years ago I considered putting it back to original colour from the orangey red it was at the time, but as you can see, I didn't.
  7. If you haven't already it might be worth checking all the connections are clean and tight. It does sound like the unit has jammed though
  8. ...and for anyone in the South East, don't forget that the M25 is shut between Jn 10 and 11 for the whole weekend, from 9pm today, Friday, to 6am Monday I believe. bbc news link
