Trying to tie up some loose ends tonight with this, booking ferries is the main stumbling block at the moment. Event is listed as being three days, but only the Sat / Sun dates are on the rally plaque, moreover we would like to travel on the same ferries as everyone else, is there an itinerary up on...

Re: AutoGlym factory tour

Was good wasn't it. :) They really looked after us well, laid on lunch & gave us a very interesting tour, as well as a propper demonstration on the propper way to clean a car. I don't know about you guys, but learned loads :) Just as well really, given the state of the roads on the run in! Filthy ro...

Re: leak around rear light

Been following this thread with interest - i can answer the gasket issue i think, early Fs had a thinner gasket than later ones - it was changed for a thicker one in an effort to cure leaks. My F had a thin one from the factory (& no grommets in the boot lid, or rubber stops on the boot hinges, but ...

Re: AutoGlym factory tour

Can't set a date without the numbers - it's a bit of an odd one this - in order to determine if it is viable or not i need to give them (reasonably) firm numbers. With this they can they give me a selection of dates that fits in around their work (no point in going if for instance, there is no one a...

Not sure, but as i recall, the Abingdon LE was dreamed up by the MGF's chief designer, Gerry McGovern and was the first LE/SE mod...
