Fuel pumps on these things can be intermittent.
I don’t think it will be the ECU.

Well done that man!

One thing to note is that if the coolant level is very low the two temperature senders may not be immersed in coolant…if that is so, then the temperature senders will not be giving correct information to the ECU or gauge

Back to the original question.

As everyone has said, it's a pig of a job and much harder with the subframe in place but still doable. 2 things are compulsory with owning our car's.
One is a first aid kit and the second is a swear box!

What a brilliant idea……… a swear box……… I have so many swear words, I have difficulty storing them onboard, so somewhere to contain the spare swears would be useful.
Do they come in different colours and can I get one in 6XL size?……. If I can get a real big one I might get some lovely shiny new swear words.

MG has thoughtfully designed this thing in this way to provide you with the opportunity to bleed…….after all the engineering gods require a blood sacrifice to be appeased, otherwise they will get angry and they’ll bugger up the job for you and you’ll have to do it again and again until you do bleed!

The proper hardtop for use with an MG

And the correct storage device

Whilst we are very different people, we both seem to stand firmly on common ground.

Yeah but you don’t want ‘em hanging out flapping about in the breeze!

Not only would this be somewhat uncomfortable, it would also be distressingly unsightly

Locking wheel nuts are more trouble than they’re worth, who’s gonna bother pinching our wheels with their oddball PCD that fits bugger all else and here in Oz none of the scumbags bother to knock off anything under 18” dia,
