    Great to see you back in action, it's true classic cars do become part of the family. I've owned my Triumph Stag for 43 years and my Lancia 2000HF coupe 41 years, I think I like them and they will be around the family longer than me. good luck with all you are up to. All the best Bob

    Really enjoy your videos, very relaxed presentation style. I've got a vanden plas allegro that was on wheeler dealers, always wanted a MGB GT, might add one to the yard soon.

      Thanks! The allegro sounds interesting, I’ll have to dig out the episode! Cheers for the comment!!

    Have enjoyed watching all your MGB videos and feel that you should bear some of the praise/blame for my going out and buying one! If you are at Revival this year look out for Alfred Russel Wallace at the drivers club- that will be me as I am one of the Goodwood actors 🙂

      Haha great stuff! Hope you’re enjoying the car! Thanks for watching my videos and I’ll look out for you at the Revival! I’m there all weekend again and really looking forward to it 🎉 🍻 🎪 🏁

      Really nice to meet you today!! Hope you have a great weekend, I’m certainly enjoying it so far and of course learning how Wallace really was the pioneer of Darwinism 😂

    Hi Mark, nice see MGB again, although due to unfortunate circumstances. Be nice see some runs away again. Also check condition of battery, as could be low on electrolyte if it’s been over charging.

    • @granblogismo
      @granblogismo  Před 11 měsíci

      Yes I’m due a longer trip! Goodwood Revival again in a couple of weeks though which will give it a run! Thanks for the tip about battery, will be sure to check!

    Hi, great video. I have noticed that your rev counter is not at zero with the engine off….. known issue????. Keep up the good work 👍

    • @granblogismo
      @granblogismo  Před rokem

      Yes! The rev counter is all over the place 🤣 I think it has some electrical gubbins (capacitors or suchlike) that need replacing, it looks like it revs like a racing car but indicated 5k revs is about 2 or 3k 🤣

    Hi Mark, great to see the Mgb back, qq did I notice slip it in second gear when you hit the traffic? Just curious as I have the same year Mgb and rolling traffic is my pet hate as there's no synchro in first gear.

    • @granblogismo
      @granblogismo  Před rokem +2

      Great spot! Yeah traffic on a downhill slope so I just roll until I can get 2nd engaged instead of trying to match the revs to get into 1st, lazy but it works 😂

    That alternator conversion was a horrible botch! Did you put the split bush back in the alternator with the new bracket? It's meant to slide (with some effort) in the alternator body to take up tollerance in the mounting brackets. Also, be nice and buy a propper alternator plug with both terminals in one housing.

    • @granblogismo
      @granblogismo  Před rokem

      Honestly I completely forgot I took the bush out! I’ll try refitting that 👍 I also didn’t know the alternator plug was a thing so I’ll definitely try and get that fitted too, beats getting electric shocks of the spade terminals 😅⚡️

    What I bodge!!!!! that alternator bracket just looks so sketchy.. I would revert back to the dynamo.....

    • @granblogismo
      @granblogismo  Před rokem

      I wouldn’t say it was a bodge, it uses exactly the same mounting points and fittings as the dynamo bracket it’s just a different shape, the photo is misleading because the bolt on the alternator isn’t done up which is my bad, makes it look weird I guess 🤔

    • @granblogismo
      @granblogismo  Před rokem

      Ah yes the original ‘long bolt’ setup was definitely a bodge 🤣
