Re: Pleased with the start up

My F can sit for weeks and then start first turn of the key as long as there is charge in the battery, anything over a month and she requires the trickle charger.

I recently started my mk1 ZS after leaving it without a battery for over 2 months, second turn and she fired up.

Re: 5th gear options?

mAEstro!

When I stripped my maestro diesel one of the few bits I kept was the box with such a project in mind for my maestro T16!

There is a wealth of PG1 info on www.rovertech.net

Re: SLK out MGF in!

Nice one - folding the roof down adds more insulation over the engine so reduces the engine noise in the cabin.

Re: Heated rear screen

The wiring is there on all MGF and TF's.

Make sure you get the correct switch for your year.

Re: new starter required

Both the 2.0 montego and the 1.8 MGF use the same gearbox known as a PG1 so it is possible that the starter will fit both.

Re: 500 miles @ 46mpg

My understanding was that they were going to do away with standard 95ron and then 95E10 would just be labled 95ron.

Re: 500 miles @ 46mpg

It's advised to use 98ron in the F in France due to 95ron being 10% ethonol which doesn't go well with rubber seals in the fuel system.

Re: 500 miles @ 46mpg

Which engine do you have?

My best so far is 40.6 mpg but I haven't worked out the figures from our euro 2013 tour yet.

Re: Is the "F" a sports car (to you)?

I realise that this is probably a non-issue in the rest of the world, but when I go on the Autobahn here in Germany, with no speed limit along the sections that I often go on, it's a bit disappointing when you get above about 70 to 80 mph and there's just no more acceleration... it can work its way...
