The MGF Register Forums

Hi all,
Just purchased my first MGF. 1998 1.8 VVC with 43000 on the clock. I knew she had a water leak when I bought her so she is in MJN Bristol being sorted.
She came with a hard top, stainless exhaust, stainless coolant pipes, low coolant warning, day running lights, glass heated rear screen and so many spares I could hardly get in the car to drive her home. Pads and discs, a spare cat, two wishbones, spare headlights and tailights. Tonneu cover, top cover, full car cover! Hard top stand and cover. So for the £800 I paid for her even with the cost of repairs I am a happy man. I have just bought a set of X power roll hoops ,second hand, to allay the Memsahibs fear for her bonce. As you can see she came with a private number plate. I have changed the plates to read as they should. I already own a 75 tourer which I have had for a couple of years and replaced the front and rear bumpers to MG ZTT spec.

Hi and welcome

Great looking F you have there

Hi Stevie and congratulations on a spot on car.
Hope to see you at our monthly natter soon

Congratulations - a real bargain.
Look like maybe a suspension pump up could be on your to do list?

Hi Steffi, I have spent a fair bit of time around Koln. Worked at the Koln Arena lots and also at the E Werk in Deutz and at the old Messe. Whereabouts near Koln are you?

Thanks for all the replies. I will have to get the suspension checked. She hasn't hit any speed bumps yet! First car I have had for a long time which has made me smile every time I get in it.

I have the faint suspicion that Steffi’s profile settings are calling for an update …

doesnt really mater though if it says Cologne or Bristol, you could even have both ??

Got my car back from MGF today and just drove her home. She sounded lovely but taking Marks advice and not taking her over 3000rpm for a while. I have to take her back after 500miles so the run to POL will do that nicely. Looking very nice with her roll hoops fitted but I can't make my mind up about the windbreak. It fits OK but because the hoops lean forward (X power ones) the windbreak leans forward a little too. No doubt the Memsahib will point out the error of my ways when her barnet gets blown about! Will I be able to join the register stand at POL or do I have to pre book?

Quick update. I will be on a facebook MGF enthusiasts stand. The stand is number 12 and there will be 12 of us. Would be good to meet anyone there.
