Hi everyone, I have made a rash purchase and bought an MGF - it was literally cheap and chips so I am of course now massively paronoid it is going to die on me..I have only just got home with it.
So far the engine management light has come on, I was told this may happen as apparently it has before and the code reader said a fault on the lamda sensor, I intend on buying a code reader and seeing if that is the case again.
I also think it sounds a bit rumbly at various speeds sort of CV/ wheel bearing type but I have never had or driven one of these before so might be me going mad, is there specialist in the area who I could get to look over the car for me? I am pretty happy tackling most work myself but have no experience of this model so would appreciate someone who is familar to take a look.
I intend to service and sort it since it has come with no real history but the MOT's back up the low mileage of 41k. I drove it home (150miles) got stuck in traffic and the temp needle never wavered and it felt rock solid on the motorway - noisy arnt they!.
I am in Ipswich Suffolk and its a 2001, VVC now to hit google and see what reader I need, thank in advance for any suggestions.
