Re: MGF Dampers removal info
An impact driver will do the job very easily. If the body of the damper rotates, then I use I belt-type oil filter removal tool to hold it stationary.

Re: Definitive info on Freelander wiper motor
Not sure why you'd want to do this, but the advantage of the Freelander wiper motor would be that you should be able to make use of the variable intermittent function (although this is much more than a simple motor swap!!!) So firstly, why are you looking at Freelander wiper motors? Is it that you w...

Re: Dashboard removal
It's an easy, but big job. Fixing the speedo cable is easy though - usually they fail close to the gearbox, so not a dashboard out task. :) To remove the dash, you have to work methodically from the rear of the interior forward, and everything is MUCH easier if you also remove the seats. Everything ...

Re: swop seats from a 1997 MGF to a 2005 TF ?
Definitely feasible. I did the swap the other way, with TF seats into a 1995 MGF. Depending on the year of the car, it can be plug and play, otherwise either swap connectors, or swap over the seatbelt anchors from the existing seats to the replacements.

Re: pscan on an ipad?
I bought a very cheap windows tablet PC, which was fine to run the PSCAN - but because of the way that Apple manage what apps can or cannot be run on their devices, I don't think that Phillip has implemented this on Apple mobile devices...?

Re: Pektron remote fobs
Paul (Technozen - you can find him on eBay, and probably other places too) is the man to talk to. The Pektron unit is a bit of a minefield for a variety of reasons. The older Lucas system is way more robust and simpler - but that is not much help to you. Hopefully Paul can help sort this, but otherw...

Re: Toyosport Back box (mgf) WARNING
I've lost count of the number of years I have had my Mike Satur system. It's probably got rather louder over time, but it is still fine and performs well

Re: Battery isolator
You can absolutely use a battery isolator on our cars. I have one on Project Shed - in fact two, but one is a competition unit for killing the engine in the event of an emergency, while the other is an isolator in the earth strap. In some ways, it is easier to simply disconnect the earth strap from ...

Just to confirm: yes, you can fit any hood frame to any car. I have had Mk2 hood frames on my early Mk1 MGF for around 20 years...

Re: Car unsettled over bumps
Odd handling can appear very quickly and even at low speeds with mismatched tyres. It is certainly worth replacing all four.
Steve, I agree - worn rear wheel bearings can also cause untoward handling - and MGF/TF bearings don't seem to make noise when they fail (no idea why not!)

Re: Are there any suppliers left?
First off, welcome to the forum! Secondly, sorry to hear that the bushes are too hard Evan. Which sets of bushes are you looking for? The whole car set? Yes, Rimmers is an X-Parts retailer, so OE bushes can be had from them. They won't be in a kit though: you'll have to order each bush individually.

Re: TF Race Car Build
great work - you've managed to get a lot done in a short period of time - very impressive
Will be interesting to hear how all the new modifications work out.

The eBay car has a rather strong asking price on it - no idea if the market will support that or not!?!
