Thank you so much for your help, it worked a treat, I just completely forgot to reply.
The walking in cheddar was lovely minus the wind and rain, made even better by a stop off at Wilkins cider farm in the way home for localcheese and cider supplies.
Now hopefully we have something if a summer soon so I can get out and enjoy the MG, on the plus side I now have working wipers so there's no excuse not to be out enjoying it.
I have noticed a very strange fault with my newly acquired MGF (96).
The passenger window does not function when the headlights or sidelights are on... However the drivers side is fine and once the lights are switched off it functions as normal.
Im not sure if anyone has had any experience of this or any ideas.
