Your experience

[BillJordan]

Howdy all! I'm delving into the world of MG cars, focusing on the MGF model. What are your personal experiences with the MGF? Any maintenance tips, performance upgrades, or memorable road trip stories you'd love to share with a fellow enthusiast?

The best place to start could be to look through the forum. There is a massive amount of information and experience here.

When you say you are looking to delve into MG cars, is this as a research project, acquiring the skills to work on these cars or with a view to looking out for one to buy and drive at some point ?

Having been running MG TFs and MGFs as a daily driver since 2005. No real problems experienced. Have probably driven 150K miles in them in that time.

This year I will have owned my TF for 20 years, the first 10 years as my daily driver with no real problems, the more you use them the reliable they are.

Our MGF is in the family for about 25 years, followed by a TF some decade ago. The F is an early car, a bit sensitive to servicing and well care. We use this one only for foreign trips and leasure as the car has been modified over the years. Performance wise: modified air filter, 52 mm TB, Trophy head, 4,2,1 manifold, sportscat, original damper (for what remains in it as damping material), AP front brakes, 280mm rear, polybush all around. Including various brackets and supports. (Lost count over the years)
Do I love the car; quite obvious, it is contagious.
The TF is a very late one 2005, steppy. Almost standard, OK, K-maps did their job (well!) and tweaking with brakes is needed to remain safe.
