Thanks Rob..can you lead me to the extended studs you mention? Cheers

You should be okay with a 3 or 5mm aftermarket spacer - the wheel should still locate on the centre bore and their should be enough thread engagement on the wheel lugs. Others have fitted this size of spacer to other wheels without problem. But for me, I would be tempted to change over the wheel st...

Can I ask what your thoughts are on my set up with spacers? I have AP front calipers under 11 spokes already and was wondering if a std 3mm or 5mm spacer would fit under this set up? The spacers are inexpensive on the bay of e! My rears are normal calipers and I wanted to "fill out" the rear stance ...

Plugs were changed 1200miles ago with the recommended type. I agree it needs a specialist its either one of the mobile experts or find a local mg rover expert in the NW.

Thanks Rob..it's a head scratcher but it'll have to go to a specialist rather than "a garage" for a more indepth diagnosis I think,although the garage has been excellent his model expertise isn't quite there!!

Thanks for your replies Chris..I've passed them on Incase he hasn't checked...you never know.

Emissions issues do seem to follow the TT exhaust around. From what I have read in the past, try stuffing the passenger (left hand) side pipe with a rag. The MoT tester may or may not allow the car to pass in this state but at least you will be able to see the effect on the readings. This has been ...

It wasn't an ebay bargain...supplied as a replacement by the garage doing the repairs along with the sensors!! So I would hope they are good items! And to add these are the original figures..since the cat and sensors have been replaced the figures have improved but not enough :thumbsd: I'm thinking ...

I don't have them currently as the car remains with the garage doing the MOT. I'll be asking tomorrow though!! All I have at the moment is what it days on the fail notice..it reads Exhaust carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle exceeds manufacturer's specified limits.(8.2.1.2(a)) Exhaust lambda...

Hi all looking for an emission guru on these cars in the Merseyside area.. does anyone know where I can find one? Cars been through an mot and failed on emissions. Have replaced cat,both lambda sensors and the garage who have the car have still not got it down sufficiently to pass even though the re...

As per title I have for sale a pair of ok headlights taken off my TF yesterday and replaced with a clear pair. The originals were ok for mot but I got these at a good price and it's been "one of those jobs" I've wanted to do for ages but never got around to do it!! If someone is willing to polish th...

Yes I have a DAB head unit and a small antenna that sticks to the windscreen, works well When you say works well how many channels to you get a good signal from? I see your in the Thames Valley region..I'm in the North West and after looking at the dab signal locally it's supposed to be up to 90% e...

Hi, I have gone the DAB route in my TF and as mgtfnut said the reception and which stations are available depend on your location. Towns and cities are well covered but I am out in the sticks. I had tried DAB/FM splitter on original antenna and stick on windscreen type but signal was not good apart...

Good comments Jerry.. I'll check my local area 1st..I just wondered how people who have it fitted were justifying it really or as you say is FM enough?

As per title guys n dolls ..need to change my head unit as I'm considering a DAB unit with all the other usual functions.
Has any one tried this and fitted the aerial that fits on the windscreen to pick up dab signal?
Look forward to your tales of woe or otherwise

To those in the know..can anyone tell me if it will be possible to have parade laps during the lunch break at Oulton Park next Saturday? It says on the raceday itinerary that there will be a parade of MG owners at lunch and I wondered if there is a definite answer yet?

Very happy just bought x2 215 40 16 for the rear of my TF from Tyres.net for £117 delivered to me. Still got to get them fitted but that's about a tenner each so that's £137 all in ..
