A friends car has an electronic regulator.
Occasionally the charge rate goes full scale.
De-clutch and let the revs drop till no charge, rev up and drive normally, problem solved till next time.
The regulator when fitted to another car does not exhibit the same symptoms.
Any suggestions appreciated,

Welcome Ron.

This topic is a bit old now, but in case there's interest...

Not the YT, but on our ZA Magnette we had a sloshing fuel problem. Strong smell of petrol in the cabin when turning right, a common comment from Magnette owners.

The fuel cap is attached to the filler flap via a plunger and spring, relying on the spring pressure to close the pipe. The plate to which the seal is affixe...

Fair comment Tony, but the engineer in my hates a dead gauge when driving. The interstate trips are generally once a year only. The 75 years old issue is the nub of it.

I live in hope of an electronic insert one day, expecting that it'll need to be adapted for the Jaeger (unlikely to be specially designed). In the meantime, I'll be on the lookout for any useful spare parts.

Jeremy, the Post Office and Royal Mail are not a hybrid set up. They are now entirely separate and Royal Mail are a listed privatised company.

The biggest problem with putting things out to tender is that companies choose to quote as low as possible to get the contract, then realise they cant deliver the required quality at that price. I used to work in transport and distribution and at o...

Ron, welcome to MG Y types.

I have pulled the engine a number of times in my YT, and need to do it again soon to fix the front Crankcase oil seal leak.

You are going to need to remove the headlights from the cross bar to be able to move the bar far enough to get it out of the mudguard brackets, to remove or tilt the radiator, to remove/ work on front of the engine.

Do n...

Ha yeah, good point, and great song. Bill.

I think we'd agree that Corbyn shouldn't be anywhere near defence! Starmer is no fool. He'd follow Sunak's defence spending pledge I think, maybe not 2.5% of GDP but something substantial.

Of course this reduces public sector spending - a problem for a Labour government. Maybe only one term then. But things might not change much. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss....

Anyway, if it gets any hotter in Ukraine, state run railways will be the last thing people worry about. 😵‍💫.

Good job we'll have the left to defend us. Corbyn can come back as defence sec. Jezza Jezza. 🤣🤣.
