Hello, is a small or medium car cover best for the MGF?
Thanks steve

Thanks guys, it was the fuse.

Thank you everyone for your replies. Just checked, the interior lights dont work, so i will change the fuse when i get home from work tonight. It would be nice to have some music as i tour Bournemouth and the New Forest tomorrow!. Will let you know what happens.
Thanks steve

Hi all
The clock and radio/cd have stopped working, is there a fuse or something i should look at?
thank you.

I originally posted about four weeks ago that the car wouldn't start after a battery change. As i have 'at home cover' ,i called out the R.A.C who's best idea was to google it , and came up with that i should keep disconnecting the battery, leaving it for hours then reconnecting it and after a few g...

Hi all
I had to take the battery off to recharge it, now the engine turns over but wont start, its like the immobilizer is on. Any ideas/ .Thank you. its a '97 vvc

Ive just changed the battery and the central locking wont work and i cant turn off the immobilizer- Any ideas?

Thank you rsr92 and talkingcars1 .Sorted it out first time.Your help is most appreciated.

Hi folks
my '97 VVC wont drop below 14- 1500 revs at idle, i used to be able to blip the throttle and it would drop below 1000rpm, although it makes town driving interesting, any ideas how i can fix it?. Thank you.

Thanks for that, i really appreciate it. Will have a go tomorrow and report back.

Hi, i bought my 1997 mgf vvc a couple of months ago, and the chap had replaced the rear window himself, but i find the soft top really hard to close as it seems too tight, sometimes i have to unzip the window, then the hood latches fine, then the problem is zipping it back up again!. Is there any wa...

It does look a lovely car, really nice in white . On the subject of price, you'll be doing well to get half that.

I have read that some people say that you shouldn't exceed 3000 rpm, during the warm up phase, which can be up to five miles, is this true?. A very well known mobile mechanic says no, and i give it about a mile, or when the water temp says normal.Anybody have any thoughts?

Russel arrived about 8 am this morning , turns out the H/G was ok, so he did the timing belt and pumped up the suspension, and was gone before 10 !.
very reasonable price and a top bloke. Highly recommended

I bought a p reg MK1 MGF VVC on Saturday, i had never driven one before and i love it. This is a personal opinion so feel free to disagree. They are super value now. You can get them rust proofed for £250- £300 and once the H/G, water pump,belts and hoses have been done, you have a depreciation proo...

Thanks for the welcome everyone, the problem i have is that Rickmansworth is at the south west tip of Hertfordshire, so Enfield is a bit of a trek after work, especially the M25....,
