hi everybody, just a follow up from my last post about cold starting my mg. after the last couple of weeks of the car starting really well, the same problem has come up. the car has a new heavy duty battery, new alt and battry earthing strap (all connetions look good and are tight). is there any other bit i can check? the car is being kept outside, with no cover. its only been in the last few days (when temps have been below 0degC) that she is struggling to start.
thanks
oh and when starting the battery never dips below 9/10V _________________ 1985 Mini Mayfare (1275)

Incorrect ignition timing/faulty condensor and leaky valves/worn bores will make any engine difficult to start when cold. What are compressions like _________________ Rover P2
