The MGF Register Forums

I have just obtained a rather nice grey 2003 MGTF. Not had the chance to drive far yet but it seems more comfortable than my MGF - which, to be fair, had knackered suspension. With 135bhp it's obviously a bit pokier than the 118 F but, more importantly, it has excellent torque for the sort of B road...

1998 MGF. The dipped beam output is pathetic although the main beam is OK, if not exactly stunning. I have mobility issues in both hands which make investigating the issue difficult. I thought I should just try some new bulbs but there seems to be some doubt as to which type of bulb I should fit. Eu...

3 years MG-less was long enough. I flirted with a Mazda MX-5, which was a very good drive but rather prone to rust, plus the local club members were into modifications and drifting, which are not my things. I am taking a chance on buying a 1998 MGF in Amaranth from a dealer some distance away withou...

The radio and clock stopped working at the same time. Aha, I thought, that's a blown fuse. Well, I found a fusebox under the bonnet but none of the fuses seem to be the right one. The forum suggests that there is another fusebox somewhere in the car but I can't find the blasted thing. Help please be...

An old school friend married late in life and has quite a young family.

His son and daughter regularly make fun of his memory issues but as he says:
"They won't be laughing when they wake on Christmas morning to find there's no eggs under the bonfire".

Thanks everyone. I'll give 28/34 a try.

I know this must have been asked many times but looking on the internet has given me several different answers.

Tyres are 215/40R16 front and rear.

I am currently using 28F/32R (PSI)

My driving style is brisk but (mostly) legal and I prefer to use country roads when I can.

She was delivered last night and is even better - at first impression - than I expected.

The hood and rear window are about 6 months old and fit perfectly. Don't think I have ever seen an F/TF with a completely clear rear plastic screen before.

And the sun's out this morning. Wheeeeee!!!!!

My 'mid engine car from another British firm" also enjoyed some beans. It was always much happier after a run at 100 mph. I was informed there was a frequency oscillation that comes from the driveshaft at that speed that resets the Zen of the vehicle. That was pretty much the excuse I gave the poli...

Somehow thought it looked too good to be true @ £29 a bottle.

Anybody tried it?

Any comment?

Fantastic mate.. I'm itching to buy one here, but not seen one that takes me fancy and not at that money you've just paid.. Nice one pal I went to see another one a while back and was very disappointed. Looked like being a money pit thanks to rust but also someone had managed to shoehorn 15" tyres ...

Only MoT'd to October but only a couple of advisories on last MoT. Have seen photos of all sides and interior and all looks OK

I'm paying £470 and, to be honest, if it needs a bit more spent that wouldn't be unreasonable.

2001 VVC, 105K, Mot to Oct.

My daily driver is an Alfa Romeo 156 estate so I'm used to not having remote central locking or remote boot opening - my key fob has the buttons for both but basically they don't work. Also, mine is the 1.8 Twin Spark which needs to be revved - very much a contrast with the 2.0TS which is quite torq...

Following my failure to buy a 1.8VVC - probably for the best as I suspect it could have turned out to be a money pit, a 1.6 has come up for sale locally at a reasonable price, i.e. one I can just about afford. However, I previously had a standard 1.8 which I felt could have used a bit more oomph so ...

Well, it did have more rust that I was expecting but it had a hardtop in near-perfect condition. Slightly worrying that all the literature suggests 16" wheels all round; it had the correct 5-spoke alloys but with 15" tyres on the front - good ones - while the correct size rears were well worn. Howev...

Seeing it this evening. Already got the money out of the bank.

Having had to let my 1996 MGF "Lady Jane" go a few years back, I have been indulging in my other automotive passion - Alfa Romeo. However, my road-going but trackday oriented Spider just went bang in a very big way - hole in engine block large enough to insert finger - so I'm looking for another con...
