No 3 is definitely the gauge (blue or black) sender unit failing - a cheap and easy fix by replacement.
but is it?
It can also be an indicator of a problem with a water pump.

Re: Drivers door remains locked

Re: what have you done on your mgf today?

Thanks for the advice, unfortunately I am kinda tied to time off in June and in my experience midges are worse later on in the summer. Both my parents were Scottish so I've had many trips over the years. Over the last decade we have been driving south in the F, Monaco, Verona, Rome, Naples and then ...

Re: MG F

Hi and welcome to the forum.

I notice you have started 3 threads all on the same subject. It is good practice to keep all posts on the same subject in the same thread so everyone can follow what is going on.

Good luck with your fix.

But a V6 is more drivable than I heavily boosted turbo in real world driving.
So the answer is a V6 with a turbo? :lol: :roll:
