    Austin rover/mg series transplant - Montego turbo engine - yes or no

    Recently i noticed a similarity between the gearbox housing on my 2000 tc and that of a montego turbo engine i have. As my tc engine has low miles and runs great i am reluctant to pull it out but im wondering.... Is a single carb turbo o series transplant an option? cheers, Alan

    Exhausts.. - Whos got one?

    Well, thanks for all the response... Ive heard of a place local to me who will make up systems for reasonable money - if this is true and its reasonable i'll let you know who it is! Usually they deal with big-bore noisy astras/cossie type stuff so hopefully then can make something quiet...

    Slow starting V8 - Turns fast but turns for ages

    It wont keep running once fired so it could be any one of those. problem is that it has sat for 10 years so i honestly didnt expect it to run at all! I cleaned all the plugs up while unceasing (had to take them out anyway) so a new set are probably long overdue What kind of hassel should...

    And now its the front suspension - The bar that goes left to right

    Ive found that I have a bar that goes from one side of the front suspension to the other - what is it? and where does it bolt to? I need to know what its called in order to buy the bits to mount it. Its a hexigan shaped bar i think. Thanks Alan
