The MGF Register Forums

Got suspension pumped up by friendly local garage having recently moved down to West Cornwall and found every bump and ripple in the Roads for 400 miles . It's like a new car :D Had the car for about 4 years - First year it drove like a rattlesnake on roller skates at speeds over 60Mph. A couple of ...

Hi Did you get to the bottom of this? I think I have the same issue on my 2001 MGF. When I bought it in 2014 I had the Timing belt done and a new water pump. system was bled okay at the time. I have not used the car much over the last 2-3 years. I figure it must be inefficient water pump / Rad partl...

Sounds like Dave Andrews has got a Leeb tester from what you described. Having compared that option it looks like a quicker and less destructive test than Brinell testing. Its one thing testing around the liner area, but it sound like you can diagnose this by eye. So the numbers for a good head of 1...

So what experience has anyone got with the various hardness testing options? I had taken a quick look around at the options but not yet selected somewhere to get a test done. So for Brinell or Diamond point testing is there a list of what's a good or bad result when its tested? I think I have seen t...

Hi Any advice on Brinell test on a K-Series cylinder head to eliminate any doubts before re-using? mgf 2001 I am wondering if the Brinell test should be done around the area where the liners meet and whether peening the head in this area will then change the result. Or will a Brinell test leave too ...

Thanks for the info and replys

I agree at £355 each I think a good bodyshop welder could fabricate me something recycled out of an old Lamborghini panel or the like

Hi

Cash awaits for a VVC blanking kit (piper or otherwise) - otherwise does anyone have a set for loan so that I can get some machined up by my local workshop.

Must finish my VVC solid cam head project before I forget why I started

Simon

Thanks for the feedback so far - appreciate the words of wisdom

Hi Looking for some current advice - reading the TF Tyres topic not sure if its the same today or even for the MGF My car is a 2001 MGF Mk 2 1.8Mpi - owned for about 14 months now - very pleased with it :-) I just had a low speed sidewall split on an old Avon 215/40/16 rear tyre - probably because t...

I know this may sound a bit radical, but I have actually had some keys programmed by the helpful team at Brown & Gammons. They only charged me the time it took and overall it was less than £40 for 2 keys to be programmed. As much as I love to have the gadgets myself sometimes its just worth using yo...

Hello clever ones I am collecting bits for a solid cam conversion on a VVC head for my 1.8mpi non VVC mgf (Mems3) I have read all of the fantastic material out there from Dave Andrews and the other Gurus; I am not yet at the point where I get all 'silly' and start thinking race cams and throttle bod...
