Along with that really cool air cleaner protruding from the bonnet, and the broken off passenger side fender mirror, the 3-speed automatic caps the MG experience.
But at least it will be cheap to fix, according to the seller.
That how you brung him up??? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/troll.gif

HECK no. That car's bugly. I hate the bumpers, I hate the wheels, and why do they need a fire extinguisher?
He needs a LBC ya know. He was out of town all week on business and is catching up on ebay! Second link is better. And he's going to look at a Midget tomorrow night. I don't think he'll like it as much as a B, but we'll see.

Yea, the fix will be cheap. It's the hours spent tracking down what year/ model car the parts came from that will add up quick. Not to mention, if you don't plan on doing the work yourself, trying to find a shop willing to work on a monster like that. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hammer.gif
The second one is a vast improvement J.B.
Maybe you could convince him that, if you help him get it, he dosen't need that OD tranny /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif

Have one in every car. Only used one, one time: to extinguish a *school bus* engine fire! But it's a good thing to have on hand, just in case. I've fitted most of mine at the passenger side (trans cover area) tucked up high: accessable from either seat, outta the way (semi-hidden). Likely it'll only be used (hopefully) on "Other Peoples' Cars". Always wished for a fire bottle and plumbing but ya can't be a "Good Samaratan" with that IYSWIM. Hard to swing an entire LBC around to aim it at a fire /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Steve: glad you commented onna turn sig's: I LOL every time I see that. Much too common. I guess it ain't intuitive that the "running lamp" should be onna OUTSIDE of the unit.

Good Idea. I have an extinguisher in my TR4 and I plan on having it in my next car.
A lot of our local shows require you to have one before thye let you park on the field. I think it's a good idea. And they have them available (very reasonably priced)at the gate for anyone who dosen't have one

I didn't have an exinguisher until one day the fuel vent line broke in the trunk and started siphoning gas into the fender well. Fortunately, it didn't ignite and only amounted to a few teaspoons, but it dawned on me that perhaps that would be a good thing to have on hand. Got a little one from Autozone and it fits perfectly under the driver's seat.

I would...and do. Got mine on the shelf behind the passenger seat, within easy reach.
They sell them in chrome.. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gifall shiny and nice if you don't like the 'industrial' look of the usual red.

I have always carried a fire extiguisher since I caught the dash of a 47 Willys on fire and had to put it out with a bottle of Rolling Rock ( I wasn't going to waste the Fosters and I was 21 ).
My wife keeps taking her's out of the trunk (garage sales are her vice of choise) so I'm going to due so rigging like Dr. E suggested.

I moved the extinguisher to the cockpit, just laying on the shelf right now.
Wonder how old it is? Was the PO's when we bought the car? Do they 'go bad?'
[/ QUOTE ]
They do eventually go bad. If its in question, get a new one.
Go to a hardware store. dont buy one at the parts store, they cost 3x as much. (unless you want one of the pretty chrome ones. TYhen you're pretty much stuck with getting it at a parts store).
I got a pair of extinguishers at Sam's Club for less than Auto Zone wanted for one.
Just make sure its rated for flammable liquids and the like.
