Be nice to meet up again Kjeld it's been a while

Plan A for ours was to cut 25mm off the gear stick thread it & fit a Momo like we had on our previous TF but on removing the gear knob I realised it wasn't so straight forward so plan B was I found a Momo on eBay that fitted using the spring clip method it wasn't cheap but it fitted ok, it's been on...

Yeo I removed ours after the colour faded & I fitted a momo with same fitting clip, you just grasp it in your hand & tug

Remember the old family Moto Pete Nil Secundo Carbarundum (don't let the ba****ds grind you down!!

Would've done normally Colin, but I'm working Sat am then this weekend is the big event of the year for the classic motorcycle club I'm chairman of so I need to be home for that as well.

Lee Pudney who organises the Friends Round London run used to be the guy for stripes on Fs & TFs I think he's usually on mgrover.org.

Perhaps the blue marker paint is to ensure the bolt goes back in the correct place if you remove it?

It's definitely the bottom one on our 2010 TF I've just been in the garage to check, for some reason it has blue marker paint on the bolt head?

Edit: looking at the OPs picture it definitely looks like the bolt has been in the top hole to be honest?

What a bummer we return home from Norfolk on the 4th

To be honest I can see where he's coming from

Ours just sits in the boot unused, hopefully that's how it will stay, I've seen them go for £100+ on eBay :D If it needs more than is in this kit to mend the TF it's breakdown recovery time I've no intention of rolling round at the side of the road to be honest :D Does yours have the MG-R gloves as...

All this talk of timing belts made me think about ours the belts were changed for our Norwegian trip in 2014 as it was 4yrs old it should really have been done again last year :oops: but I never realised time had passed so quick, I'll get it done at its next service no need to rush but something tha...

The only time I've had electrical things close down one after the other is when the alternator belt came off, not sure if it's the cause in this case but it would be worth checking if the car is charging ok?

There's some handy tool kits sold by Oxford for under motorcycle seats, I have a good collection of Teng stuff but I only take cheaper stuff away from home just incase it gets lost, one of the benefits of working for a large tool retailer

We have done many thousands of miles on the continent, I take the MG toolkit in the boot, a selection of zip ties, gaffer tape etc but the main thing is breakdown cover, only problem we've ever had was when the TF threw the alternator belt up a Norwegian mountain, not the cars fault as belts had bee...

We was going to pop in as we are down here but the M6 got in the way & we arrived to late unfortunately

Did Rimstock manufacture the Twist of Pepper wheels, they are the manufactureer of the 11 spokes I believe, maybe contact them, AlloyXchange is mentioned on Rimstocks site maybe it all the same firm?

I think Rimstock sell on eBay as Magikwheels they regularly advertise 11spoke wheels for sale???

After suffering the Toyo miss match we're now running Falkens on our 2010 TF & find them every bit as good as the Toyos except the tread doesn't look as good

I'll go with Geoff, when electrical things start working erratically I always look at earthing first, find the earthing point disconnect, clean & refit, if in doubt run a temp earth back to battery?
