OK, am having a 'mare with this. I bought the kit as above but things are not going to plan. Bit of background.... I tried to swap in-situ which all went well until trying to secure to new boot to the new cup? which sits on the outside of the diff. No chance, the metal belt point blank refused to pl...

Thanks Chris, sourced one a couple of weekends back though.

I am still quite surprised that none of this showed on the Android app, Torque

A few pics from the day as promised

After what I saw today I was "in" no question! So that's 16 needed, hope the second demo of the day went well for the Rover boys to buy in too..... I was really surprised there were 6 faults logged already when the android/torque app failed to show a single one! This was of course confirmed as accur...

I will be there with our TF.
I believe Purplebargeken will be there in his VVC.

I'm quite eager to see what plans there are for the software....

Hi Rob, yes I think they were 25's but with lots of MG goodies bolted on.. It was the VVC actuator or Hydraulic Control Unit as some call it, causing the leak. Looks like it's started leaking again so I guess silicone is only a temp fix. Have bought the full 'O' ring kit from Rimmers so will try a D...

Looks like a great idea, good work Dave.
Just a thought, could we pass by Bedford auto drome for those track day considering types amongst us?
Wouldn't mind having a looksie....

Rob you are clearly crazy

I salute you mad Sir

Hi All, I'm after a N/S driveshaft for my 160TF in good condition, I believe they are all the same as long as they have ABS? Have had several bad experiences with ebay when buying second hand parts such as this so hence the ad. I can collect from Herts/Essex/Beds/N. London. Or ever better would be a...

Suits me

Hi and welcome We had Dan and James drop by to do full service and timing belts on both ours and Purplebargeken's car only a couple of weeks ago. http://www.mgfregister.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=135931#p135931 A genuinely nice bloke is Dan, he doesn't mind the odd question whilst he works either. Hi...

First or second week of June sits well for me.
Weekends are reasonably easy.
Week nights are usually possible with about a weeks notice.

What sort of location are we thinking about here?
Herts, Essex, London or Other?

Fob programmer for EKA and new fobs?
Hmmm, sounds better by the minute

Thanks for your words of wisdom chaps.
Full joint ordered from that eBay link (same price as gaitor only!!)
Fingers crossed for the non driveshaft nut out method, I'd never even considered this was possible!

Will keep you posted on progress.

The oil leak was quite severe and not the camshaft seals as reported previously. It was a leak from the VVC mechanism. This meant partial lowering of the engine for loosening, cleaning and automotive siliconing of the plates. Looks like the leak has stopped but will be sometime until we can get all ...

So I thought I'd make a thread about our TF. It all started here.... http://www.mgfregister.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=17365 Moving on, I did an MGoT Taster Day at North Weald. That was a real hoot! http://www.mgfregister.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=17701 We then decided it would be a good ide...

Hey all, I need to change the inner driveshaft gaitor on the nearside of my TF. It looks reasonably straight forward, all parts including new hub nut etc. are available from Rimmers. Only question really is will the driveshaft need dismantling or could I use a cone or spreader to get the gaitor on? ...

..........These have a fair amount of light scratching/scuffing which I think may polish out with some fine compound, but I cannot guarantee it. Hence...... If we are going by your standards Gary... Does that mean one of them was almost lightly flicked with a feather? :lol: :lol: Good luck with the...

Oh poo...

Used it on and off for a while now, very powerful.

I must remember to donate to the dev sometime soon...

Hi Nigel, Thanks for your input. This really was a fantastic day today and all I can say is I wished I'd joined the party sooner! Several of the guys I met have expressed their interest at doing another one. Full trackdays are certainly on my agenda after a second go at a taster. I think I'm registe...
