ah yes, wondered what it was. thank you

What the hell is the little 12v thing next to the fuel pump and what does it do?. Anyone know its correct name so I can search for it. you can see it just this side of the fuel filter.

Given what you have done so far, I would replace one caliper and see if that fixes the issue on that side. for just over £30 its not too much to shell out

Well it can only be three things for me. Both calipers are still sticking which sounds unlikely. The master cylinder is causing positive pressure making the callipers put pressure on the pads, I have never had this happen, has anyone else??? An abs system causing positive pressure, never known...

is it both sides???

Find the thread on the fuel filter, water trap. Replace the fuel filter, engine breather filter etc

I have spent 26 years working on cars. Brakes can be very frustrating, My last car a Volvo was the same. The rear brakes kept sticking. No matter how many times I stripped the callipers the brakes kept sticking. I replaced the hoses, the hand brake cables, the discs and the pads (four times as...

had this several times and if you have done the calipers, it will be the flexy hoses, they collapse inside. you can get some shiny stainless ones for about £80.

certainly looks like the shells are worn out to me

does the sunroof have any drains that go down the A or B posts??

can you take a photo further out, cannot work out where that sensor is on the engine.

I think it might be worth searching MG forums, there are some clever chaps on there.

your better off in rural france that Nelson now, I get scared just driving through Nelson now.

ok so did the head on the MG last year. people recomend using copper heating pipe cut to length and the old head bolts to clamp the liners in place. easy cheap option if you need to move the crack when head is off. would reccomend the extra tension bolts. Also do the cam belt, water pump...

Just been on an MG forum as there are loads of k series threads, as you can see from the phone, I own one for my sins. The idle control valve can cause the problems you are having BUT fitting a new one needs to be set up correctly using the correct software. According to people who I think know...

I sheared one on my mate freelander, its been ok for a couple of months. leave it be, it should be ok.

I think cleaning the sensor in pics three and four would be advised for me. you did a very thoruogh job there. Did it fix it, no not really as I said above its like etrol running on 3 when it cold, but its fine if I unplug the sensor.

think this maybe the correct part number LR006796

Removed the sensor today and gave it a clean. When the car is cold with it pluged it like a 4 cylider petrol running on 3 cylinders but it s ok hot. Unplugged cold runs smooth as it should, however has less power when the turbo kicks in. Picture of the sensor so peeps know what it looks like.

i am really surprised how bad the car runs due to this sensor being duff
