South Lincolnshire newbie

Post by NapalmNick » Tue Jul 04, 2017 7:42 pm

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 :thumbsu: and a HUGE thanks in advance for all your posted help.

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.

Thanks Barrie.

Yes this forum is epic with content. I am (almost) glad I didnt buy the car 17 years ago. I mean the forum content must of been lacking back then hahaha. :-)
