How have the two sets of workshop notes grown?

The two sets workshop notes have provided V8 Register members with a useful store of information and advice on MGV8 servicing, maintenance and replacement parts issues which many members have seen as a valued part of their membership benefits. Over the years the notes have been contributed by fellow members which is a key feature of the ethos of a traditional members' car club.
