- Hood
lock up
you pull your hood
back but it locks and will not go any further back, here are the
fixes...........
- the easy cheap
cure - as you pull the hood back, pull the second (from the front) hood
frame rail back as your pulling the hood. Tony Thompson's site explains
the method with pictures better here.
Have a read of
this from the DotComoff site as
well.
- another cure is to
fit two elasticated straps to the hood frame. These were fitted as part
of a recall by MG to certain VIN numbered TF's to prevent the hood
pinching, but they also have the effect of curing hood lockup. The VIN
numbers are VIN RD600155 to RD608010, and the part number for the
straps is DJE000010. Dieter's site covers the recall here.
Tim Jenner also covers the recall here.
From the MG-Rover.org forum, here
is a picture posted by Stafainn.

rear screen protection and cleaning
- This great little
tip from Broon - "To save buying a hood protector (or if you park in a
place where it will get nicked), I place a piece of cling film over the
rear window in the winter. In the morning when its all frosted up, peel
of the film and you have a nice frost free window. Takes literally
seconds."
