A lot of these things are abandoned in places where it is now difficult to get access, Trev.

The Peak District is littered with beautifully dressed mill stones in remote areas, for example, but not a cat in hell's chance of removing them to anywhere else without a great deal of trouble and effort.

Ah but the Peak District does not have a Trev, does it Marie.
I have no doubt that Trev, could not only salvage that engine, but get it to work.
Using the grinding stone to clean it up:)

You must have woken up and needed to change the sheets this morning, Bill. 😂😁

Up before the birds are awake, now that's early!
And here was me thinking I'm the only one up and about today.
It's normally Annie not sleeping of late. o_O:sleep:

My MGB had 4 forward gears operated by a normal gearstick.
The Gearstick top had an overdrive switch which seemed to go up a notch
Can anyone please explain how that worked ?

Wiki our friend on this occasion explains what an overdrive does and how (by adding a set of additional gear ratios) and how it commissions those ratios, electric or mechanically

en.m.wikipedia.org

Overdrive (mechanics) - Wikipedia

Thans Andrew.
I understand the principles and in the case of the MGB the switch operates a solenoid which in turn entails a shift of gear ratios

In one sense the Main gearbox on the car is like the rear cogs on a bike.
Some bikes have a different sized cog at the pedal end and so a bit like changing the front cog.
Not excactly of course and how the solenoid changes the final drive into overdrive is still not clear.
But it does seem like there is a 2nd rear Gearbox/drive unit which is where the solenois is located and it uses an elliptical shape itemwhich has the desired effect without changing from 4th (or 3rd) gear

I still think the MGB was the nicest small/affordable sports car
Nowadays I guess it is the Mazda rather than the MGC
With the roof open a 3rd person could sit behing the passenger seats ..NOT NOW of course !!!!
 
Gearboxes are an excursion to the dark side, when I was in the trade in the majority of cases they would be farmed out to independent specialists.

On the classic scene Mgb seem as popular as ever Mathewsons offering at least half a dozen in next months auction,for those interested getting into classic cars an ideal route.

I sometimes wake up and I find the best way to get back to sleep is to come fi3n stairs gkr about 15-20 minutes then I go back. It works a treat. That’s me just up now:)
 
I drove zantias for a few years great cars, wonderful suspension system.

But hearing this morning that Renault are in real bother due to the corona virus.
Heres hoping that they get through this.
France unlike us is very protective of its car industry, their loyalty to Peugeot, Citroen and Renault always surprises me when I am there.
