The MGF Register Forums

I know what you mean about the cost.
All that fun... the having the timing chain tentioners done on my Jag costs more than an entire car!

Guys I wanted to asks a question... When a garage fits a new clutch into an MGF do they, or should they fill it up with gearbox oil? It seems to the problem with my cars gearbox was there was no oil in the gearbox so it broken, which caused some problems with regards to refitting a new one... But an...

Cant say I like it at all really, from the front to the back there isnt a "thing"

Its nice and clean... which is about the only thing its got going for it. You would have to be a loon and a full on fanatical freak to pay that much for some that is included with every working MGF you buy.... if you want one, buy a working one, strip it down and off set/load the cost by selling the...

I know you guys wont advice for obvious reasons, but I really need a little advice. I can either go for a used: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260658735100&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Which seems ok from a seller with nice feedback its done 48k miles... or I can get this for anoth...

My mech called me today, said I need a new gearbox.

Will probably be ok on the clutch but the box is shot!
Just going to order that one off ebay I think...

not as good as a recon'd one but it will do )))

There wasnt never anything wrong with the stick shift, I always liked it...

My mech is taking her apart as I speak so soon I will be told exactly what I need to buy.

Why dont you get what you have got fixed, as opposed to get fixed up with another?

I wouldnt chance it myself...
A airbag saved my life one morning last summer...

Its one of the few areas on a car I wouldnt chance with second hand parts, never mind a bit of DIY

I would think if your worried about stuff like a bit of broken plastic behind your head in an MGF you might just as well save your cash as buy a Land Rover Defender with all the checker plate trimmings! I quite like the look of that cheaper one too... Sure it aint as pretty as the others, but it don...

Im decided on the gearbox now, and think Ill be getting a new clutch fitted too while hes there... Its £60 now, or £260 sometime in the next year, so might as well go for it now. gonna cost about £460 for the new box, new clutch, new clutch lever and fitting them all ((( Just need to wait till next ...

Need a help to narrow this one down... 3 options to go for... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250732919701&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150584223499&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260...

Sorry I should have said she tried to open it when it was locked....
pulled it a little to hard and now it doesnt open...
You pull the handle and get nothing ((((((

Having had the run Ive just come back from I would say if you keep her between 2 & 3k RPM then 400 miles on a tank is easy... Tesco @ 130 per liter She already had about £20 of juice in the tank, I added another £40 then £20 and at the end of the trip of just over 355 miles theres still enough juice...

So my niece tried to open the door on my car while I was away...

Now the handle doesnt open the door...
The handle pulls up but thats it.

Any ideas on whats broken, and what I need to fix?

Ive had a word with my mech, he seems to think Ill need a new gearbox, because of the bearing problem I had before this happened... plus any other problems that might come up he quoted me £250 all up + the cost of the box, which he is leaving to me to source, or he can get one... Any ideas where I c...

Ok........ Ok Ok, do I need to look for a new gearbox? What parts will I need to fix her as she is now? I need the ladybird book of answers version because as far as enginey bits go on cars Im not really sure. I can whip some speakers in and fit some HIDs but the clutch fills me with a deep sense of...

Ok so Im just back from a 350 mile round trip to see the family. I gets the pompy and a problem Ive been having with her for a while has come to a head! The gearbox and/or the clutch? In late december I had the clutch changed, but I dont know what kind of job the garage did... the clutch was fixed b...

Thats what I thought too MurryG.

Touring, its all about the journey, especially in an MGF...

I couldnt do it in an MGF, I would always be worrying if we've got enough luggage.

Black is good colour, with deep red interior.

Silver is good too... can be black or red or a mix of both inside.

Best colour i think is Trophy 160 yellow with a pair of black stripes stripes with black and yellow interior
