Mgf savvy garage in dordogne/ sarlat area

Post by mgfonthetyne » Fri Jun 29, 2018 10:14 am

Hi all

New user in trouble in France! Made it all the way to lake annecy ( beautiful) but speed bumps have taken toll on the hydrogas and I need to get it pumped up.

Does anyone have knowledge of a suitable garage in the the sarlat / dordogne Area ?

Many thanks

Hi and welcome to the forum

Are you just visiting or do you live in France?

I can't imagine there are many MG specialists out there, what ever you do do not get it looked at by a Citron garage, the fluid used in their hydraulic suspension ruins the MGF suspension.

Ok thanks for the tip about Citroen’s.
Now I have another problem, the bonnet release cable appears to have broken or disconnected - can’t get the front open !!

I have recovery and can call them, or is there a known way to open it ?

Any advice appreciated !

Karen
