The MGF Register Forums

Hi All, Thought I would draw your attention to an MGoT track day at Oulton Park on Tuesday 26th May. At the time of writing there are just two places available if anyone wants to come along & join the fun. Booking and full details via the MGoT website here: Morning only: http://www.mgs-on-track.com/...

Not for first timers thoguh it seems. Unfortunately not - this is Silverstone not us, we just have to abide by their rules. plenty of other events for first timers though. Cadwell, Snetterton & Oulton Park all open for booking now and Castle Combe will be on sale soon - check out http://www.mgs-on-...

If you are going to Stoneleigh on Sunday, come and chat to us on the MGs on Track Stand, Hall 3 (same hall as the F Register). Amongst others things, we have an MG SV on the stand.

Look forward to seeing you there on Sunday

Newton Commercial sell bespoke mats for the F/TF in lots of colours with whatever edge colour you want, includes the MG logo and vinyl heel pad for the drivers side. I bought mine from them last year for a very reasonable price & quick turnaround time. The link is here: http://www.newtoncomm.co.uk/c...

My MY03 TF didn't have one as standard and I just fitted the B&G kit for MGF - fits & works fine & saved my engine on the occasion of the underbody coolant pipes failing! As others have said I think it was around 04/05 when they were included in the standard spec.

Managed to get my MK1 Golf GTI accepted as a "theme car" for the next breakfast club. if anyone is coming we are around and in a Lhasa Green GTI. Hope to catch up with some of you there or at the next natter!

Booking opened last Saturday for the North Weald activity day on Friday 19th September. Book a place for just £45 now: http://www.mgs-on-track.com/events/168/ ... -09-19.htm for more information.

Hi all, For those of you asking about a second North Weald date, I can confirm that we have secured Friday 19th September and the event will be up on our website by Friday in time for the MG90 weekend. If you are up at Silverstone for MG90, come & see us in the main marquee on the MGoT stand where w...

An update for those of you who were asking about another day at North Weald. The good news is that we are arranging a second date for later this summer - most probably in September when we will return to North Weald again. For those of you who are not MGoT members, sign-up is free via our website ht...

All in all a fantastic day out and talk amongst ourselves of organising another. Either by trying to twist MGoT for an extra date or going direct to the company based at North Weald itself. Go on Ken, add your name to the list. And Lord Tolly for that matter! You probably won't need to twist our ar...

The ones in your link will be too large for the standard speaker hole/mount in Mk 2 door cards. As far as I know, you will need 5" speakers and these will fit in the existing cut-outs in the door cards. I have a set of original TF tweeters if you want them - I replaced mine some years ago with Vibe ...

Hi, looking at the E-bay link, that is the engine bay steel pipe and is the only metal coolant pipe in the engine bay. You can get steel or stainless replacements from the usual suppliers, Rimmers or B&G for example this is the link to the page on Rimmers website: http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i...

I would put money on damp in the coil packs /HT leads from the sound of the symptoms, plus the MIL light which may well be registering a misfire. Depending on the cars service history, you may want to get it to a friendly garage that can read the codes or given that it symptomatically has a misfire,...

I've just read this thread with great interest and wonder if I could pose perhaps another confounder? A number of us who regularly drive our cars on track with MGoT have noticed (mainly MGTF drivers) that our brake pad wear rate for the backs is hugely higher than the front pads. My own set up is on...

They introduced this mid way through the season last year but in usual Goodwood style didn't bother making it known until you got to the gate & were refused entry. Sadly these have become too popular for me as I queued for 50 minutes to get in to one last year, so will be a bit selective as to which...

Hi All, Have had a few issues with rough idle over the last couple of weeks and have so far replaced plugs, coil packs and HT leads on my 2002 TF. I also have a P0136 OBD II error code (the misfire code has now been sorted with the above replacements) and the idle is still high at around 1100 rpm an...

Mine went last winter & I replaced it with the metal joint version which Rimmers sell and can highly recommend it. As others have said, you only want to replace this part once as it is a right royal pain to get the old one out and new one in.

Agree with Rob entirely. With my TF (which gets to see a lot of track action), the things that made the biggest difference to the handling were poly bushes on the suspension coupled with X-power lowering springs plus the EBC grooved discs & decent pads. Both affordable(ish) upgrades and don't compro...

Hi Mark,

Any plans to reschedule the date of this meet - its a heck of a lot closer to me than Hursley (or the Bucks Head for that matter). Would love to join you all!

Blimey you must go to a different branch to me as I haven't found them as good as you have
