Hi from Lincolnshire

Post by Jacko » Fri Jul 21, 2017 1:18 pm

Hi.
I've just bought an MG TF 2004 1.8. Very pleased with it so far.
Couple of small things needed and to fix:
RH Horn Button Cover.
Heater setting 1 doesn't work. Ok from 2 upwards.
Roof noisey so may need new seals.
Horn sometimes goes off when going round a corner.
Could do with a new petrol cap.
Badges faded so maybe a new pair or stickers.
Remote only works when right up close to car.

Other than that - all good! :-)

Hello and welcome.

Heater not working on 1 will be the resistor pack ~ common fault. You can either buy a replacement unit or solder in a new resister (lots of info on the forum if you search).

Remote only working close up could be the battery on the way out or the aerial behind the centre console needing straightening out.
