Hey there! i'm new to MGs too but have you looked into those battery maintainers that don't need to be plugged in? Heard they can be good for cars that sit a while. Might be worth checking out?

Hey there! iIm pretty new here too. From what I've read, the freelander motor swap can be tricky because of the wiring differences. Might be worth checking out that rimmer bros link instead?

Coolant-wise, go for the oat stuff like others said. Maybe grab a spare cap too, they can be finicky sometimes.
