  1. MG ZS SUV (since 2017 on)
    I have a small hissing sound when pressing and lifting the clutch and I can also feel a grind through my foot when lifting the clutch. I am due to exchange my car in a couple of weeks, so don't really want to have to have something fixed or looked at. My knowledge on cars is very limited, so I...
  2. MG ZS (2001-2005) / Rover 45 & 400
    Hiya, hoping someone has any idea of the problem with my Rover 45... (changed spark plugs today so that rules those out.) I can build up a high speed gradually but when putting my foot down on the accelerator hard, the RPMs shoot up but the speed doesn't increase. The car also sputters at a low...

    Hi all just in case this happens to you! the wife's MG3 (No not the clutch sticking down !) had an issue resulting in the RAC not bothering to recover her home ! (Another story, for another time!) Well I went to check it out (After RAC not turning up for two hours!) Sure enough clutch was...
  4. MG ZS (2001-2005) / Rover 45 & 400
    Hi there, hope somebody can help. Clutch pedal made a pop sound and now it's stuck to the floor and won't come back up on its own until I push it up with my hand. Had the same problem I'm having now two weeks ago and took it to garage for repairs, the master and slave cylinder were replaced...
  5. MG ZT / Rover 75
    I have had to replace the clutch slave cylinder twice over the past 50,000 miles. First time round it was the cylinder only, second time a complete new clutch. Also I have a slow fluid loss from the cylinder under the foot pedal which requires topping up every three months. I am about to replace...
  6. MGF and MGTF
    I've got a problem with getting my MG TF into gear. It'll go into gear when the engine is off, but when the engine is on, it doesn't. Just makes a screeching noise. I've checked the fluid levels and seems good although slightly dirty. Clutch pedal only has resistance from about half way down...

    Hey there fellow MG owners (is that the correct way to say theese things), So in just bought a sh*t-box MG ZS for £400 with the only real mechanical issue being the clutch needs replacing. I thought this would be a good thing to start off with as first off I wanna have fun driving the car and...
  8. MG ZR / Rover 25, 200 & Streetwise
    Hi Everyone, Driving my 2000 Rover 25 GTi (PG1 gearbox) yesterday I was pulling away in 1st when something sounded like it had broken from the gearbox area and subsequently then the car could not deliver power to the wheels. When the car is idle, you can hear a very slight rub which wasn't...

    I drove to work this morning with a ton of stop start traffic and my gears were getting harder to engage then just as i got to work the plastic flange of the slave cylinder snapped and the clutch pedal fell to the floor as the slave rod popped off the clutch arm!! Does anyone know if there is...

    WANTED! a life expired clutch master cylinder (2.5 petrol). I,m making a remote hydraulic reservoir for my ZT. The reservoir and pipe are all done and I'm machining the special cap to fit the master cylinder but need to measure the thread details. Working condition not important but preferably...

    With the subframe transplant planned I've noticed the underfloor pipe is corroding badly at the rear so thought it an opportunity to replace with either copper pipe or stainless braided hose. I like the braided hose option as it is far easier to run, but I have no real experince. Would some...

    So I'm going to be fitting a 120 engine in my 105 soon, Im going to keep the IB5 box, So I know I'll have to swap the flywheel over from the 1.4 lump, my question is will a 1.4 clutch be up to the job? I cant see why not.... And if not will a 1.8 clutch fit on the 1.4 flywheel? Or is it just...

  14. MGF and MGTF
    I've got the engine out of my car at the moment and I might as well have the clutch changed while the mechanic is at it. Its a VVC 1.8 1998 MGF. Would you recommend I get another OEM clutch or spend a bit more for an AP clutch? Are there any advantages of getting the AP clutch? Many thanks...
  15. Rover 600
    One of the most overlooked and easiest things to maintain is the clutch fluid, I try to change mine at least once a year, two max. Its overlooked as changing the clutch fluid is not on any service schedule, it should be as debris and worn out fluid is often the cause of cylinder and seal wear...

  18. MGF and MGTF
    Hi, Did the repair on the slave clutch cylinder today. Think I've done it right after a lot of swearing and sweating. The knackered seal in the piston jammed half out so had to remove the slave cylinder housing first as I couldn't get the clevis pin arrangement out. Grr. As a result of all...
