Wocha bin doin on your MG this week then?

Fitted a pair of Alpine tweeters to my TF.
Thanks to @notanumber for pointing out the wiring would be there.
Used a step cutter on the door card for a neat fit and they work a treat.

Low coolant alarm from Mr.Cotsell arrived today so that's the next job.
 

One of the plastic heater control knobs failed in the week so I picked up a second hand set of Mike Satur aluminium ones on Ebay. They are very solid but I have to say I prefer the less cluttered look of the originals

Can I ask why they fail?  My heater knob turns to the hot position and everything is hot but if I try to turn it down it jams half way. If I leave it to cool it goes all the way back to off again. Is this why they break because I daren't actually force it back to off.
 

I know what you mean about a tight spot in the middle of the temperature control. Mine has it to a much lesser extent and i noticed it on my previous TF.  If yours is particularly bad there then it would probably be worth an hour or two to strip down, clean and lubricate the heater flaps and linkages the control joins to. 

On mine, it was the knob for the fan which had broken and prompted the change. Unlike the others this just consists of a switch, without mechanical linkages, though it does still require quite a positive turn to click between speed positions.

The knob for the direction control fell apart when I removed it so the only intact original survivor was the one for the temperature control.

Incidentally, you can adjust the range of the temperature knob by moving where the cable is attached by the clip to tbe valve.( Beware tbe clip can fly off and disappear.@Ask me how I know...)
 

Went out for a drive to pick up a hardtop for our car today and noticed that the heater wasn't working 🥶 I  was fearing the worst but David's advice was spot on, a small adjustment of the cable and bingo, the heater now works again. 
The hardtop is fitted and the car is almost ready for the winter. 

That looks smart.
I'm envious of the HR screen!

I wouldn't be too envious cos it's not working yet, I haven't got the button for it and for some reason they are stupid money
