Wocha bin doin on your MG this week then?

That’s interesting, those same parts have just arrived for me to freshen up my f, it has had some poorly applied leather pads fitted, possibly by Stevie Wander, with help from Steven Hawking.
There were some spectacular deals out there a couple of weeks ago with fancy leather & carbon fibre, real stuff, not printed on.

I've been tidying up my double garage ready to accommodate the TF,  this is the TF that Alan Ritchie had advertised for free (what a very nice generous man.) once I finish clearing/tidying the area it will be put in there and work will start on the head gasket, which hopefully will be this W/E.  The car seems to be in very good condition overall and I'm looking forward to starting the work on her.  I just have to find somewhere to put my ride on mower now it's never been left outside before, I'll have to get a good tarp or some other form of cover for it.  I will update as the work on the TF progresses.    Many thanks to Alan Ritchie.

psymon, tell us more. What did you use to revive the plastic?

This is the stuff that brought it back to looking new,  Going to try it out on the dashboard this weekend
Autoglym Vinyl And Rubber Care

Autoglym VRC500US, Vinyl & Rubber Care, 500ml - White. Buy It Now

I hope it's better than the rubbish they sell here "Armorall" spray it on and it leaves a greasy sort of shine on vinyl and faded plastic parts which looks better until all the dust sticks to it an looks worse

I did see people had the same issue, If you spray it on and leave it , it'll go shiny and a bit greasy, but if you buff it of within a few minutes after applying it goes matt and dry ,  Mine certainly has no tack to it

I wanted to give the centre console a bit of a face lift  and I stumbled across a topic by Airportable called "Knobs" 
Anyway the knobs and rings arrived and today was the day for a nice, easy upgrade...err no!
It's never going to end well when you cut corners and when rebuilding I didn't change the heater controls ...so when I tried to remove the 1st knob it snapped the spindle   interesting fact, the temp control spindle is plastic   
No problem, I have a spare 🙂 
It would have been a bit easier if I wasn't a ham fisted oaf that broke the circuit board  
4 hours and much swearing later I had everything back together and I'm pleased with the result. 
 

Yeah dealing with plastic parts can offer challenges!

Hey it looks a bit like mine now, how good is that! I’m glad you were inspired, my panel has moved on a bit since, each knob is back lit: blue for speed, blue for temperature when cold, changing to red when up to temperature & finally yellow for air distribution.
The speed is continually variable & has a high speed demist/boost setting. There’s a switch built into the knob which selects continuously variable, off & boost.
It was great fun to build, I’ll add some pictures if anyone is interested.

I wish that I had the knowledge to be able to do something like that but my skill set is is very limited. I'm really just a plug and play when it comes to electrical work. 

The heater fan knob on mine gave up the ghost yesterday. Ive ordered a 2nd hand Mike Satur set on Ebay before i saw this post

Stripping the suspention from the F , waiting till the FCC kit from Mike Satur will fall on my doorstep
