Re: WANTED - MGF Momo leather gearknob

This one looks to be the same, brand new, but will need the H-pattern sticker to replace the "MOMO" logo if you want the genuine look: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/295936988628?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1V3M7r8l3TkGZ6qETBAfLlw63&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=10...

Re: MGF STYLING

Which style are you looking to purchase Stew? Mike Satur responds best to a telephone call. I suspect that RPS may be the same :) Good news that RPS are still responding to queries, but I think they're winding down (unless they've found a buyer for the whole business?) No update on their website sin...

Re: electric window problems

Both my windows dont work. I’ve checked the pull out fuses and all are ok. What are the other fuses and could it be one of the yellow relay fuses This could be many things - and the options may depend on how they failed (did they both suddenly stop working together) and the age of the car, as there...

Re: seats

Just to agree with the above. The SRS is plug and play - it won't retain a fault when disconnected and reconnected. Seat removal is all pretty straightforward :) I don't think I have fitting instructions for the seats on my website, but this page on making a "universal" mounting for aftermarket seat...

Re: Wiper motor

Make sure that the underbonnet lining goes over the motor. Geoff F +1 on what Geoff says. You probably don't need to work out why I know :roll: BTW, you can fit a later TF wiper motor to an MGF, but you have to remove the plugs from both, and fit the MGF plug to the TF wiper harness.

Re: MG TF Fails to start

Hi David - interesting that the hot idle speed is too low - I wonder whether the idle control valve is sticking? It may need replacing if so, but potentially may respond to a good clean in carb or brake cleaner?

Re: TF Race Car Build

An air leak may be? But brilliant that it is running once again :)

Are you planning to take it to a rolling road soon?

Re: TF tracking, take the correct settings with you.

By the looks of things, they've got mixed units on this report: mm for toe-angle and degrees/minutes for camber/trust angle. Really confusing way to present the data.

Does your TF have an adjustable lower suspension arm?

Re: MGF STYLING

It looked good didn't it? Not sure is the answer - I don't recall seeing it on their stand at Silverstone either. Again, Chris at Anglia Composites will have an inside line on information about this: it may be waiting for a new owner of the rights to these moulds to take over and productionise them?

Re: TF tracking, take the correct settings with you.

2 degrees is MASSIVE. Toe angles at the rear are two tenths of a degree - how could a professional really look at 2 degrees of toe and think that that is "okay" just because a computer says so? :roll: Glad you found the problem, but this place you have used needs to be given a very wide berth in fut...

Re: MOT Emissions Fail

No, the erratic idle probably is not related to the emissions problems that have been documented. Ockham's razor suggests that the two should be linked, but a car can have as many problems as it likes... :(

Re: Gear selector cables

From memory, both cables follow one another, but will need to check!!!

Also, it would be good to replace the closing plate, as without it, you'll get engine bay fumes entering the cabin (ask me how I know :roll:)

Re: Intermittent Engine hunting & p0420

It could indeed, you're right Mike - a failed ring and bore scoring may be the issue. I have a hunch that you will end up lifting the cylinder head to really get to grips with what is going on here - and of course, once into the engine, you will be in a good position to make the suitable repairs.

If RPS can't help you, try Anglia Composites, who made the moulds and made the panels. They will know who currently has the rights to make and distribute these panels :)

Re: Intermittent Engine hunting & p0420

That data all looks reassuringly normal. The cylinder compressions look okay to me (but I am not the world expert in these things). Interesting to read your leak down tests and the potential gas leak on cylinder 1? Might be worth performing a boroscope to look at the bores, but another thought that ...
