W66 MGF & Y66 MGF for sale by dvla for £599 and £699 including transfer fees

I'm guessing its one of the gear cables either snapped or detached. Bit of a pain to fit. MGR garages charge about 2.5 hrs labour. Mike Satur stocks them.

1. there are currently nearly five times as many MGBs on the road than there are MGFs (not including TFs)

Understandable as there were over 5 times as many produced

As far as I'm aware, the Mini didn't have a dipstick in their cvt box but used the "fill till it pours out method"

Tip to bottom of handle is 380mm. Tip to the bit that stops on the dipstick tube is 428mm

I too went down the road of seeking out a chap in Stockport..... Kevin ( mgfhydragas@gmail.com ) and can confirm his regassed spheres are great. He seems to know what he is doing. Is a very approachable fellow . Only time will tell as to the longevity of the regassing.

Used to have I.D. number on flange you can then cross ref on their site. http://tt-exhaust.com/id68.html

This weekend so far; Replaced lambda sensor and subsequently a couple of exhaust gaskets. Fitted stainless underfloor coolant pipes. Fitted a set of refurbed displacers (Thanks goes to Kevin mgfhydragas@gmail.com for the work he did refurbing my displacers ) Polybush kit fitted on rear suspension Gr...

Gaffer tape is like "The Force"
It has a dark side, and a light side and it holds the universe together.

Don't underestimate the force (▼皿▼)

I have a mk 1 VVC running MEMS 2.0J. I swapped the exhaust manifold and down pipe from a 4 stud to a stainless steel 6 stud. I swapped the lambda probe across to the new set up but it wasn't giving a decent signal. I bought a generic one from ECP which turned out to be for MEMS 3. I made a patch le...

Update Well after fighting with the old o2 sensor I finally removed it. I had a "MEMS3" sensor and as Bob mentioned above made a short adapter cable so it would connect to my wiring loom, ( it looked good and rather professional complete with heat shrink). Could I get it to screw into the manifold c...

Thanks for the link.
I'm going to go for a single mems3 lambda sensor and the "black" coolant temp sensor and see how I get on.

Thanks Rob. That's how I read Mykels comment. It has no second Lambda but what I should be using is just one of the later sensors.(which contradicts the info from Rimmers) I just now need to find out which Temp sensor to use. As far as I am aware they have the same thread pattern also the same conne...

Have done they say MHK10006 sensor for all pre vin522572 and yet in this forum I find Re: MEMS 1.9 or 3? Quote Postby Mykel » Wed Sep 14, 2016 6:36 pm As Geoff said, all Steptronics are MEMS3, due to the need for a programmable interface for the gearbox control unit. They were the first Fs to use th...

A bit of help from the steptronic gurus would be greatly appreciated.
I have a March 2000 steptronic VIN 518336
Should it have 1 post vin522573 lambda sensor.
Which Temp sensor should it have?
Part numbers would be a great help.
Thanks

The only two common things was it was quite windy, do these MGF's have an external motion sensor to set off alarm? As far as I know there is an air pressure sensor for the interior which can be triggered In windy conditions when using soft top. If you just lock the door with the key and not the fob...

Or a couple of dish washer tabs
It'll soon be clean enough to eat off. lol

http://www.allcarpartsfast.co.uk are showing them both in stock if you want new ones.
Don't forget the clips
I used Part # DDQ10012 for mine, they are about a pound a piece
