South Lincolnshire newbie
Hi all!
Got myself a 2000 MGF VVC BRG and delving deep into her insides. Loving it so far bought as a little project to tidy up and get my hands greasy again.
Currently reading all I can on Cam Belt(s) changes as I fancy a go myself but will decide if I have the 'beans' after reading up. Not much service history in last 7 years is my fear for her, and I can see the Alternator belt looks 'ropey' so I have fears for all the other belts.
First engine job is to fix the starter motor....
The forum has already been very helpful and should I learn something useful I will make sure to post it!
So, anyway, HI all and a HUGE thanks in advance for all your posted help.

Re: South Lincolnshire newbie
Hi Nick, welcome to the Forum. I too am relatively new, having purchased my MGF in January. There's a great deal of knowledge, encouragement and support here which has certainly been of great help to me and my Wedgwood SE.
