The MGF Register Forums

After my journey I switch off the car and the fan starts running after about 10 seconds. Never done it before and just noticed it in the last week or two. Had the TF 12 months this week coming so maybe it's just started to work correctly?

I've noticed that after a short journey once parked up the engine bay fan starts running. I'm assuming that the sensor in the engine bay is at fault. Coolant level is correct and fan runs for a few minutes. Is it better to fix or just leave to aid cooling?

As already posted make sure the rails are moving as they should. You can buy a strap kit relatively cheaply to attach to give the roof it's original operation back but it's not something that's ever bothered me

Not posted for a while, so many different forums it's hard to keep up without duplicating posts :) I bought a 1.6 TF and have spent a few weeks upgrading stuff. I have fitted the standard speaker box under the T bar and fitted Alpine speakers to it which made a massive difference. I have standard sp...

J Edgar & Son in West Cumbria have one, ex MGR dealership

Always nice when they pass

I believe the car is finished and running, I was at a 75/ZT show the day after pride of Longbridge and it was there

I've had a quote from the bodyshop of £80 to do the worst arch edge which I thought was a little steep? I'm thinking that ideally all four edges need doing and due to the cost of four I might have a go myself. Never repaired anything like this so what's the best way? Rub down, primer under seal and ...

Cleaned the TF yesterday and noticed surface rust starting to show on the sill front and rear edges, this looks easy to sort by getting it rubbed down and reprinted, I guess it's caused by road debris. It also looks like there is very slight corrosion appearing in the front arch to sill seam which i...

Ahh I see, thanks

Offset dowels?

I am not sure how "advanced" it is. It has been around for over 50 years. I have been using it for that long.

That's what MGR called the spec

Too many to list but some of the nicer ones include
Two classic mini coopers
Two XR2's
Nova GTE
MK 2 RS 2000
Currently have :-
mini Cooper S
Rover 75 tourer
MG TF (to replace the cooper S as a daily driver)

I doubt the tappety noise is the liner to be honesty. The liner protrusion for 1.6 and 1.8 engines is 0 to 0.10mm and the liners are sealed with advanced formulation hylomar or hylomar universal light grade sealants around the step of the liner

Are these so that the roof folds without having to move the roof bars by hand?

I have a 115 and have seen some 75 front fog lights for sale which I believe are the same, Has anybody retro fitted them? Sorry there is a similar post on .org but I'm not sure if the same members use both forums. Thanks

New genuine badges arrive and fitted, expensive but correct

I'm going but in the Trophy Yellow 75 tourer

Changed the oil today and what came out was like new, I suspect the last owner had it changed before selling it. I couldn't get any mtf94 so I just used 75-90. A work colleague took the car for a run and his opinion was that I'm being overly fussy :) I think I will try and ignore it until it needs a...

Cumbria's a lovely place
