Re: TF 135 2009 - OBD2 Connection

I got used to the “oil...

Re: Leak into boot
You could try the old talcum powder method sprinkle it in the boot & wait for the water trails to show up, On the plus side if it doesn’t work your boot will smell nicer

Re: Suspension and alignment questions
I run our TF on 28F/34R as do quite a few others I believe?
Never had any problems with those pressures.

Re: Oil change on MGF 1.8 VVC
I’ve done an oil change on our 2010 TF today I jacked it up to give a bit more room & boy did I need it as although I’d bought a filter removal tool (74-76mm 15 flutes) the filter wouldn’t move & the new tool kept slipping so I reverted to the chain type I have & although a PITA to use it loosened i...

Re: what have you done on your mgf today?
If you go on eBay & search for "fender washer kit" there's plenty of choice of sizes & colours.
I ordered M6 x 16mm bolts.

Re: Fuel Cap Lubrication
The best thing to use in locks with pins ie car locks, Yale type locks, etc is graphite powder, dust the key with it & put the key into the lock, do it a couple of times.
I learnt that from a locksmith during my joinery career

Re: How good is the MGF - V - BMW S1000 motor bike!!
I've been gradually reducing engine size on bikes over the years I'm now down to a 500cc Honda but I'd hang up my helmet if I was beaten in a race with an MGF in normal circumstances to be honest

Ours isn't an LE, just a run of the mill 2010 TF135 having covered 55K miles, the paint Frost White has stood up rather well, but beware of the Chinese variety of misty headlamps, ours is on its 3rd set

Re: Recommended tools required for MGF - ?
Most of the tools I have are Teng, good quality stuff, Halfords Proffesional is also supposed to be good & they frequently have some excellent offers on their kit.
