If you look at the diagram Rob posted, find the flange on the downpipe where is bolts to the manifold and then follow the pipe down to the first bend. The sensor mounting boss in located on the top face just after this bend (so sensor points upwards when fitted). I can't see the mounting boss on the...

The route is the same for all years. MEMS3 cars have a different cat/silencer to earlier cars (the cat to silencer flange is in a different position, and there is a second O2 sensor after the cat. MEMS3 cars also have a 6 stud manifold to down pipe flange, on earlier cars its 4 stud. The position of...

Have just spoken to the Three Horseshoes to book the table for this months meet on Wed 14th. As you know the current owners are retiring mid September, and unfortunately I have discovered the pub will close when they go :( They will still be open in September when our meet is due to take place, but ...

I would check the rear pads for wear (check inner & outer pad).
The pads have a metal strip on them that rubs against the edge of the disc when they are worn, and causes a squeal/rubbing/grinding noise, to let you know they need changing.

Richard, If the car is locked using the key, the alarm and immobiliser will still be set, the only part of the system that wont be set is the volumetric sensor, which detects movement inside the car. This function is designed so that you can leave a person/animal in the car with it locked without th...

This months pub meet will move form its usual 2nd Wednesday to the 3rd Wednesday of the month, and will be on 17th July. Time and venue as normal (7:30pm, Three Horseshoes, Princethorpe). If this causes any issue let me know and I'll try and find a date the majority can make. We will revert back to ...

ps Gavin207, please can I clarify 'deadlock isn't optional on a TF' by saying that I understand owners had the option to push the fob button twice on Fs - the first to lock and the second to deadlock or super-lock? (If they weren't 1.6s, I think...) Your correct, on earlier cars with the rectangula...

Interesting, when I purchased my bell crank from Mike Satur some years ago it came supplied with a threaded adapter to do exactly what you have done. I assumed it was designed to allow the bell crank to be used on both the F and TF by either using the adapter or not depending on which length of gear...

The link you posted points to an MGTF bell crank, is this what you have had fitted?
The bell cranks are different on the MGF and TF as one of the gear change cables is a different length.

Closest to you I can think of is MJS

Hi and welcome to the fourm :thumbsu: I would say its unlikely to have faded like that if the paintwork is all original, as you would expect it to all fade at a similar rate. I certainly wouldn't expect to see a an un-faded strip round the edge, which is sounds like this has. Its possible someone ha...

Which type of key fob do you have, the earlier rectangular Lucas fob or the newer oval shaped Pektron Fob? If its the earlier type, then there is a re-sync process in the handbook that should be followed after changing the fob battery. IIRC it basically involves unlocking the car with the key and pr...

Which model of MGF is it?
They didn't all come with central locking as standard, particularly the 1.6 engined cars which typically have a lower spec.

After checking all the bushes and wheels bearings for play, my next suspect would be the tyres, as the F (and TF) can be very sensitive to tyre choice. May be worth seeing if a fellow owner local to you can lend you a set for wheels fitted with matched (& preferably recommended) tyres to see if it c...

This years Christmas meal on Wednesday 5th December, and we will be at the Three Horseshoes, Princethorpe, CV23 9PR Table is booked for 7:30pm. Please let me know if you wish to join us, a £10 deposit per person is required. Please also let me know your menu choices by 28th November, so I can ring t...

Had something very similar happen on my TF, so good chance its the same issue. I had driven 10 miles and turned the engine off. When I tried to restart 10-15 mins later and the dash lights all came on, and I heard the fuel pump start, but it didn't even attempt to turn over. AA came out diagnosed a ...

Interesting the plates says its a 190.
Is that true and if so any clues on what has been done to boost the power?

Hi and welcome. The fact the issue disappears after a few minutes suggests its related to cold running, so could be sensor related. Any other symptoms such as sooty exhaust or cooling fans running constantly? The good news is a 2002 car should have mems3 engine management which make diagnosis a litt...

Your the second person to ask that recently
