The MGF Register Forums

Got the Cambelt and water pump done when I got the car 87k on the clock, I would assume on this sort of milage the Head Gasket must have done ages ago? I will get the oil and filter done every 6000 miles?

Hello All. Going by forum MGF Owners own experience what is the best Tyre Pressure for an MGF I know the Manual says 26 psi front and 28 psi rear, I have found 31 rear and 29 front pretty good.

Mines just coming up to 90k, whats the most milage anyone on here has got out of an MGF engine before it's died?

If you are gonna keep the car then all the things you have spent money on are good investments, you should get another 30k out of the engine. When it's time for an engine change that costs about £1000 ish ( £400-500 for a decent engine then another £500 for parts and Labour ) The prices for MGF's ar...

I found a super Garage that specialises in MG's Which I will definately use again!

I'm a new owner (or I hope to be by the end of the week) of my first MG. The car has covered just over 73k and the service book says the cam-belt and head gasket were replaced at 46k in 2007 so this would mean (I assume) that the cam-belt needs replacing again.

I've just bought my first MGF and it's on 87k, I've just had a cambelt and water pump change the engine seems ok, what sort of milages are people getting out of MGF engines before the die/have major issues???

I've Just bought my first MGF which is on 87k I've Just had the cambelt changed and the engine seems to be decent, what sort of milage (as an average) will the engine do before it needs replacing/starts having major issues etc???

:D thanks for the advice. The car has 87k no service history after 24k the car looks like it has been very well looked after. I'm guessing at some stage the Head Gasket must have been done. I''ll get the cam belt done and leave the head gasket. If the head gasket does fail what are the implications?...

Hello All, I'm a proud owner of my first MG a 1999 MGF, As a precaution I would like the Head Gasket changing as I don't know the car's history. Can anyone recommend a good garage in the York (ish) area for MGF repairs specialist servicing etc...
