The MGF Register Forums

Shame Rob that you had to remove Redarrows technical advice as I thought some of it was quite funny although not correct. Maybe we could set up a seperately blog page with his and others technical advice which was either funny, not exactly true or down right dangerous. As long as everyone knows it i...

Santab. Ignore everything that redarrow has said in this forum and please read my input on page one. This is 99% a problem with your switch which is not connecting with the handbrake handle fully and therefor when released it vibrates against the switch and the light flickers.

With regards to leaks behind the glove box and in the drivers foot well I have just spent two days sorting out the wife's 1998 MFG.

As stated t...

If the light switch was o...

Hi guys. I am new to this forum having just bought an MGF for the wife. Only paid £350 for it (Head Gasket gone) but I now have to go through it and fix all the little nigglely faults, which is why this forum is so good. My wifes hand brake light was also coming on as described in this section. I sa...
