The MGF Register Forums

Cheers!

So today I replaced, my alternator and my pride is working again however in the process of doing it, my back screen split and my locking nut adapter has vanished (really annoying, been looking for ages). So can anyone recommend someone to replace and fit my back screen? I live in Godalming (near Gui...

Great stuff!

Many thanks Geoff.

Help please! My beloved F wouldn't broke down and the recover guy has told me that the alternator has died on account of him measuring no charge going back to the battery (as well as all the other typical signs and symptoms). My old man reckons he can switch one out for me but i'm having trouble det...

I was thinking the same thing as i was driving around surrey - convertables everywhere!

Saw a couple of F's and a lovely MGB - also, no returning waves, just bewildered looks!

thanks thats what attracted me in the first place its like a charcoal gunmetal grey colour I think yours might be Anthracite - does it have tiny flecks of dark Metallic Blue in the paintwork (you can only see if up close up). That's the colour of my F, althought it looks black on my avatar as i'd b...

Good luck with the detailing!

Lovely colour car BTW

Bad luck!

Don't beat yourself up about unzipping it. Unless you're going to have the roof down for over an hour, it's not really practical to unzip every time.

My zip is on the verge of going so it's six of one, half a dozen etc......

Hi Pete,

Welcome to the forum. Lovely colour! I guy at work call's mine a hairdressers car and he drives a Ford Focus - say's it all as i'm sure a Vauxhall Nova would be pushing the fringes a bit for him!

My first true Register spot today!

Saw a silver F in Billericay, Essex at about 4 o'clock driving on Mountnessing Road towards Radford way. I was going to wave but i spent too much time admiring the Register grill plate!

Gave a detailed clean today and used AutoGlym Glass Cleaner for the first time.

Very happy results!

Although the weight you'll gain will undoubtly lead to slower acceleration and added tyre wear!

Hi Rob, welcome to the Register

Whilst in Halfrauds, i often look at the shelves of products such as Redux, and other fuel/engine maintaining liquids that promise to add benefits to fuel economy and the health of the engine. Does anyone here use and recommend these products or are they unecessary (nice to have if anything) additiv...

Or try driving off on the slightest bit of gravel, you'll know for sure then when you see the plume of dust in your rear view mirror!

Good work!

Reading your other thread, if you got that for a bag of sand, it was a bargain indeed!

I was driving behind a Silver F in Guildford yesterday with the plate T4 VVC.

With a plate like that, there's half a chance the owner sails these shores!

Can anyone help me here as i've found this old thread after noticing tonight that this noise is getting a little worse on my F. I first noticed it last week but wasn't too bothered as I remember my first F doing it.

But after a drive tonight, this noise seems a bit worse.

Should I be worried?

I think you're right to as you were doing him a big favour by not contacting your insurance immediately after the incident, and at least this way you are protected.

If he does come back to you and want to settle it privately, i'm sure your firm wouldn't mind dropping the claim.

I've decided to start this weekend with the purchase of a Pipercross Viper induction kit. :thumbsu: This kit seems to provide a lot in terms of keeping the air cool whilst also using the ram-air principle. However at £180, it's obviously not cheap so I wanted some views on whether this is the best c...
