More on brake upgrades here: http://www.mgf.ultimatemg.com/group2/brakes/index.htm More on the servo bracket here: http://www.mgf.ultimatemg.com/group2/common_problems/brake_servo.htm Still working on brake developments ;) This is a really handy thread. Rob, is there an update to these further read...

Sorry, I've only just spotted this! I've got 16inch Abingdons and I've used 280mm discs on the front with Mintex 1144 pads front and rear for a number of years, and now have 280 discs all round with Yellow Stuff pads. I doubt whether any other combination would be any better - the only problem I ha...

Hi Keith, Yes, 11-spoke alloys were really the only ones designed to fit over the AP calipers. However others have found that with spacers, it is possible to use other wheel styles. Have a look through the archives, but from memory, you'll need at least 5mm to clear the caliper on the Multi-spoke d...

I know this subject kicks about a bit so sorry to bring it up again. I’ve read a lot about the 4 pot AP front calliper upgrades only being feasible on the 11 spoke wheels but have seen plenty of pics of big red callipers in other 16” wheels including 16” multi-spokes (like the ones fitted to my Free...

It should be fine just folded but make sue you un-zip it on cold mornings or it'll shatter.

Move the switch? interesting thought

Over the bank holiday (and probably for some time afterwards) I was planning on getting the centre console off and tidied up, check the fixings - that sort of thing. I have all new polished parts to go on (though still in need of a set if polished heater knobs) and was planning a colour coded paint ...

Washed the dog's piss off my all weather cover (and even dried it between the rain drops)

thanks. will take a closer read of these answers and have a look around. thanks for the posts

If i sold the MGF, I could probably afford one too

The standard exhaust on my 51 1.8 is no more, so it seems a good time to think about any upgrade options for it and/or manifold. Recently fitted K&N cold air induction so it seems a logical next step.

As an MGF newbie, all advice is much appreciated but you'll have to use small words

80k rob. Been round the block a few times! Should be off this week so will check for wear. Thanks for all the avice. Cheers.

Yeah. I know it. Gonna change it all out. Would you do the valve stem seals for good measure - fiddly things, I hear
