I've up-dated my on-line MGF/TF buyers guide: http://mgf.ultimatemg.com/group1/info/MGF_buying.htm

Hope this is of use to people, and I would be grateful for comments or pointers regarding omissions errors :)

Cheers

Be my guest Mykel. Let me know where the translation ends up, and I'll link it from the original. :)

Nice one Rob- good work sir! No doubt its a work in progress though, as these cars mature, more and more issues will and are be just coming to light- however I doubt whether you'd find a more comprehensive buyer's guide of an 18 year old car anywhere on T'internetwebnetland, and any further explanation probably means that it ain't the car for you anyway.

Don't stop now though- the ultimate aim is to get the car that Rover should have built in the first place ay?

'02 TF 160 - an Original MG Rover Group Press Car...and still lookin' sharp!

Bilstein Shocks, Z&F Remap, B&G Coolant Alarm, Glass Rear Screen, Braided Hoses, Bling-free at the moment...but that'll probably change

Thanks guys, and yes, definitely going for the Ultimate MG for my self... not necessarily what Rover would have envisaged, and of course everyone's ultimate MG is different - but that's all part of the fun! :D
