I do SOME of my mechanical work. I obviously don't do anything I need major equipment for (e.g.: suspension or steering rack) or that might affect the safety of the car (but I did replace the master brake cylinder).

I'll have to wait for a warm day. The car is parked forward-facing into the garage - I'll probably have to put it in neutral and push it out.

I'm lucky enough to have one local mechanic who, although they don't specialize in MGs (they do all cars) at least do a decent amount of work on older cars and have tuned it for me, got the carbs clear, made it hum.

When it gets warm enough (which might just be in a few weeks) I'll push it out and try to put some fluid in there. The next trick is to see if it STAYS in there or if I have a leak somewhere.

Thanks
