Still trying 69,775 to day BUT at 3000 a yr it may take some time

Yes there were two different posts about 3-4yrs ago one said a loss and the other said no difference

Another mod which gets over looked is an electric water pump

NO. That was an extra ££ as an extra add on like fog lights

I am told there is a mark some where and you have to line them up

There is also the jaylad one, made of stainless steel and he is on these and other forums

Hi and welcome to the fold. Hope you have deep pockets as they need lots of tlc. Is your car a V V C model or just a 18i. The only thing which may give trouble is the gas suspension as the bags which hold the gas are getting to be like hen's teeth. Some people have changed sub frames to the TF type ...

£99.99 they are having a joke yes ?

HA and my lips didn't move ha
Cann't remember the name of the firm but it was not a garage it was a manufacturer of engine parts, try googling it OR ask sabre heads [ Roger ] he may know
The wheels are also 1kg per wheel lighter 7.5 not 8.5

Pity it doesn't have a lid, as when I accelerate all my stuff will fall out

Are you talking of the passenger air bag panel blank If so I didn't know there was any thing made to fit it
Do you mean a glove box?

The head on a vvc is better than a 18i to start with, so you get less torque/bhp per £ spent as you already have 25 bhp more and the head work only seems to make a difference at 70+ mph. Head work is about £450-£550 I paid £500 3yrs back to a firm called sabra heads who are very good with K series h...

See u 2 nite

I would think it would make an improvement BUT if you would notice it would be another thing. In theory it should give a boost in torque
You say it is lacking low down which is odd as my 160 is all low down. The 160 should make it's torque at 2000- 4800 rpm. mine is O K at 1750 rpm in 4th most times

If you can change a head gasket you would be able to change your exhaust cam piper £250 ish and a Mike satur 4-2-1 manifold £504 inc vat
You will need a cat for your m o t

A most interesting read. My TF has an alternator which makes 115 A/hr not the 85 as standard but it only does 5 mls on Monday, nil Tuesday, 5 Wednesday and Friday and nil on Thursday,Saturday and Sunday and I don't have any trouble I do use a Ctek charger once a Month/6weeks

How's the water pump ?

I don't think a prt will help with over heating I don't know what you have tried but how about giving the rad a good reverse clean and look to see if it is partly covered in mud etc I presume you have changed the thermostat One other thing you can try is run the engine with the filler cap off to let...

It would seam some have trouble and others don't, perhaps when MG made the F & TF they made the holes for the washers on some cars 12" from the top of the bonnet and others 14"

You could try a moble mechanic I think there is a good one in your area who has been on this forum but the name is not in my head I think it is some thing like crazy speed
