Re: F bits

If I can't sell the tonneau, I guess I might use the fittings. Can you mail me details please Colin? Thanks. Pete

Re: Hand Brake Issue

I looked into a rebuild kit but all you get are new seals, and as far as I can tell there is nothing wrong with the seals as the problem is more mechanical. I have one of my old calipers and I plan at some time to strip it down to see if the problem can be fixed, it maybe that they just need stripi...

Re: Hand Brake Issue

I would disconnect the handbrake cable on both sides and if you have time put the wheels back on and take the car for a run pressing the foot brake a lot then reconnect the brake cable. This may help but I suspect you are going to need a new caliper. Chris, I've got the same prob. Sticky caliper. T...

Re: Heater Fan

Hi Topless, Meant to ask - do you have aircon? If you do then fitting the electronic control means you do not have to take the car to an aircon specialist. You don't go anywhere near the heater resistor pack. willyphixitt Willy, I have AC, and have searched all over for the resistor pack! Am I righ...

Re: Water level indicator

I’m currently waiting for my F to come back after (surprise, surprise) the head gasket failed. It seems it was caused by a hose splitting, water pours out, engine overheats and the rest is history. At the time I was sitting at the side of the road covered in steam though the water temperature gauge...

Re: A quick once over ;o)

Hello, Following a recent scare over duff tyres, I think it might be a good idea to get someone to look over my MGF. It came with great service history and was services 3000 miles ago, but for peace of mind... Can anyone recomend a good place to take it? I don't think it needs a service yet more ju...

Re: Smart Number Plates

Which is why fancy plates, in N. Ireland, don't have to display this info. Geoff, I agree with you about the size, spacing and font, I personally don't like number plates that try to deceive, although mine are illegal at MoT, which is why I keep a spare legal set, they are clear to read and being c...

Re: Smart Number Plates

Pete, the number plates are not illegal. However the specification given by the designer (the person who is ordering via the web-site) can be made that way. There are several fonts available, many of which you would have trouble identifying what is the correct plate (I don't like these), you are al...

Re: Exhaust

The chrome tailpipes on the OEM exhaust are welded on and are therefore a "fixture". From about 2000 on, the exhausts changed from stainless steel to mild steel and one of the tailpipes falling off is a common occurrence (nearside in my case). I'm sure if you bought an aftermarket pair you could fi...
