Hood lock up
you pull your hood back but it locks and will not
go any further back, here are the fixes...........
- the easy cheap cure - as you pull the hood back, pull the second
(from the front) hood frame rail back as your pulling the hood. Tony
Thompson's site explains the method with pictures better here. Have a
read of
this from the DotComoff site as well.
- another cure is to fit two elasticated straps to the hood frame.
These were fitted as part of a recall by MG to certain VIN numbered TF's
to prevent the hood pinching, but they also have the effect of curing
hood lockup. The VIN numbers are VIN RD600155 to RD608010, and the part
number for the straps is DJE000010. Dieter's site covers the recall
here. Tim Jenner also covers
the recall here.
From the MG-Rover.org forum, here
is a picture posted by Stafainn.
- David "Stafainn" Clelland who runs the CSMGF web site, also sells the
straps for a
very reasonable price on Ebay.

MG-Rover.org forum made his own, and explained here.

Hood rear screen protection and cleaning
- This great little tip from Broon - "To save buying a hood protector
(or if you park in a place where it will get nicked), I place a piece of
cling film over the rear window in the winter. In the morning when its
all frosted up, peel of the film and you have a nice frost free window.
Takes literally seconds."
