The MGF Register Forums

Chris, I paid around £300 last year to Cherished for the TF, that was for an additional vehicle so no NCB to transfer. It was a standard social, domestic and pleasure policy, my wife drives it all the time these days. I always get quotes when our cars come up for insurance renewal and normally use c...

I presume they sold, after adding the thread the next day the item was gone. It was a good deal but the galvanising which is only a few thousands thick reduces various clearances. Getting the front wishbones in place was an absolute nightmare despite silicon lubricant being slathered all over the re...

We did this last year, I found various ways to do it on the forums and decided to do half at a time. With two of us it was a very quick and easy job and certainly as good as from the factory. One big difference was that we used a contact adhesive for the turned over edges, this gives a very secure f...

They’re a pair of galvanised subframes on EBay for £270. I had a pair done and it cost more than that and I had the hassle of blasting first. The only irritation was getting extra long taps to re thread all the fixings, once done they will last for ever. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/326099294683?mkcid...

To have only manual steering just remove the fuse for the EPAS, plenty of info regarding doing it. Some have actually used a relay so that they can switch it on and off at will.

You might find this an interesting read; https://www.mgexp.com/forum/modern-mg-forum.54/guide-to-importing-a-modern-mg-to-canada.2266517/ This might also be of interest; https://www.mgexp.com/forum/modern-mg-forum.54/mgfs-x5-for-sale-nc.4749440/ It was probably a year or so ago but I was looking on ...

I had one on my MGTF when I got it, I found it embarrassing to have a loud exhaust on what is a relatively slow car. I took it off and replaced it with another one that I had.

Accidental double post

I fitted autobushes and they are fine, the only problem I have is that I was a bit tight fisted and didn't replace the engine steady bushes, when I accelerate or brake just moderately hard the exhaust downpipe hits the subframe. Apparently a well known problem with the Chinese stainless steel downp...

I am not sure if you are responding to my reply but it seems to be like this; The Nissens 89232 compressor that I linked to fits the following cars that are fitted with the K4 engine, Freelander 1998-2006, MGTF 2002-2008, Rover 75 1998-2005 MG ZR, ZS and ZT all from 2001 to 2005. The earlier Rover 2...

They are available new from plenty of sources, the same unit appears to have been fitted to all K$ engined cars ie Rover 200, 25, Streetcar but the only brand seems to be Nissens. Nissens are a big OE manufacturer all over Europe; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115806576612?epid=17031370334&hash=item1af...

It appears from the numbers of used ones on eBay they used both Denso and Sanden. You might find a new one for less than a recon, there are plenty of Nissens ones kicking around but shipping and duty might kill that idea

Every owner should do at least one MGOT event, like you we found everyone friendly when we went to Castle Coombe, we will definitely go to at least one this year. We drive on Exmoor quite a bit on some good driving roads, a friend whose husband is an ex road traffic officer told us that is where the...

The F and TF are not the best basis for increased power, whatever you do will be expensive, see Retro Sports cars for their KV6 conversion. If you read Roger Parkers book there are problems with fitting a turbocharger in a MGF or TF, firstly the lack of space and the heat build up. The 1.8T engine o...

Twenty four years ago tomorrow I started to teach my eldest son to drive. Every Sunday morning we would do about an eighty mile circuit, starting out over the Blackdown Hills to Honiton, then up the A30 to Yeovil and then back through Taunton and home. It was a mix of country B roads, main A roads d...

I just checked and Toyo Proxes TR1 205/50/15 are £82 each from the RAC including fitting, 185/50/15 TR1's are £64.39 a total of £293 for four tyres. These prices were straight off Ebay and were the cheapest ones including fitting. If you are prepared to do the leg work it can be cheaper to buy them ...

If you know a friendly bodyshop they might put it in their oven, I think they go up to about 60C.

Another option and potentially a better one is this from an earlier thread, the reason it may be better is that it does away with the weak MG expansion tank; https://www.mgfregister.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=10757&p=201171&hilit=low+coolant+alarm#p201171 These are available on Ebay from numerous...

It’s very difficult to value a car, due to it being down to the time of the year and supply and demand, at the present time there seems to be little demand. Two weeks ago I bought a TF with 80,000 miles exceptionally clean interior, and a virtually new TT exhaust and had been waxoiled so the undersi...
