Have owned my little T reg MGF since mid December - 1st time owning one and loving it!!

Yesterday, I towed it for the first time after the engine cut out at 50mph on a dual carriageway

Hope you have it sorted now

The coolant alarm came from a guy on ebay. I'll find a link later for it. It works really well and pretty easy to fit with really clear instructions. The mirror won't stick to the windscreen, the whole lot keeps falling off. I've tried lots of different adhesive that are advertised for the job but t...

Quick update. The new clutch slave cylinder sorted things out, clutch arm seems fine Engine light has also turned itself off which is a result. Downside, (as is normal with these) headgasket seems to be on its way out. Always something.

Got the time and weather to change the clutch slave cylinder. Easy enough to do, used a vacuum bleeder to bleed it. Back on the road now

Must be that time of year, my cylinder has gone as well

Hi all, Blimey, time flies. Due to more health problems (amongst other things) I haven't been on here for a long while. The 2 other mgf projects I picked up had to go, not much chance of me getting on with them any time soon. Not many miles put on this one either :roll: A couple of issues have raise...

Welcome aboard Lovely looking car

My kids have a bmw Mini. Bit of a pain to work on and that seems to be quite often

Good luck with telling the significant other...

She took it surprisingly well..

You've got a keeper there Jonny

Hell yes I'd be hard pushed to find another that would put up with me. I know which side my breads buttered

She'll love it when the sun comes out

Fingers crossed.

It's all fixable, just waiting for some free time to get to it now

Look good

I have black hoops on mine, best colour

I think i need to order a sill repair panel...at least.. :roll: https://i.ibb.co/4SzbcBT/20220503-173121.jpg https://i.ibb.co/19X9L5d/20220503-173130.jpg https://i.ibb.co/2K7bsBc/20220503-184100.jpg https://i.ibb.co/0GRztJq/20220503-184105.jpg Not looking...

Mk1 Fs are great cars

I think that it's a mk1 that tempted me

I have used the cutting, burning and generally violent methods to get bushes out. It's not the best way but it works

Careful Jonny, I ended up running 3 for a decade - it can be difficult to part with them!

I'm running out of room on the drive now. Although in the next few months when the kids leave home it will free up a couple of parking spaces

Well, i was having the suspension tweaked on the freestyle at my local garage and decided to have a quick look at what was hiding behind a pile of spare tyres next to the garage. Yep, it was for sale, yep i agreed to buy it. Will be landing in a couple of weeks when i have made a bit of space. Needs...

Great to hear people saving rather than scrapping these fantastic little cars.

I agree. There seems to be so many being broken for spares at the moment. Handy for those fixing up projects but a shame all the same.

Well, time to start another of my mgf's. A nice Taihti Blue one. Just the standard 1.8, nothing fancy but i like to save them rather than break or scrap them. Body isn't bad, interior is nice, underneath is going to need some work. Lot's of surface rust and a good sized hole on the floor behind the ...
