MGF suspension help

Post by Eliotcar » Mon Jul 24, 2023 5:32 pm

Good afternoon.

Today 2 things happened.
1. My sons 1997 MGF passed again her MOT at a local garage.
2. I was advised that the suspension needs pumping up.

When I say it’s my sons car,,, what I actually mean, is that he legally owns her,,, but it’s me who has spent thousands of hours learning how to look after her.

She is sat in his Grandmothers garage as he is touring overseas.

The vehicle since last MOT has covered 150 miles. Nearly forgot why the hell im writing. The question is,,, is there anyone in North East Lincolnshire who can either pump up the suspension or point me in the right direction.

After sitting in the garage for a years now,,, she is extremely good at finding mm pot holes, which in turn makes the driver feel as though that they have driven over a brick in the road.

Just need to pump up the suspension, so any help in the Grimsby area would be most welcome.

The website vanished several months ago. It contained a list of garages who could pump up Hydragas suspension. Try contacting the MGCC Lincolnshire Centre: https://mgcclincolnshire.co.uk/about/mgccl-contacts/
