Forum rules
Not many rules really, this board being aimed at technical issues, it shouldn't fall foul (hopefully) of some of the more personal issues that can affect forums.
Rule 1 - Is that you need to think very carefully before posting anything technical or asking anything technical relating to the security system of the car - See 'Security Issues' sticky for more info.
Rule 2 - We (MGF Register) do not support copyright infringement and therefore references to CD ROM, PDF versions or paper copies of the workshop manual (for instance) should not be posted on the forum. We don't want to get into trouble and we'd rather sell you a genuine hard copy through our Regalia shop anyway!
Because advice is honestly and freely given in this technical section, much of it will be amateur experienced based, so any information is given in good faith and is not guaranteed as correct.

Security Issues
Issues with car security
More of a guideline really, anything related to the security system of the car will be moderated off of the board. This is a free to all forum and as such can be viewed by anyone and everyone - Sadly this includes car thieves.
Suggested strategy
If you have a security related issue, i would suggest PM'ing a moderator, or someone who regularly posts good advice on here. Likewise, if you receive such a PM, can you try to make sure the sender is genuine before replying.

Re: Security Issues
Hi James,
I totally understand. I have just posted regarding this exact issue. Who would be a good person to talk to or best place to take our car for a prof to look at? Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Karl

Re: Security Issues
Karl, unless you take it to a garage or car security firm you may get your answers at your local meeting, there are a few in the Midlands you can look them up in the relevant sections.
Bilstein shocks, Piper 4-2-1 manifold, Daytona, Vader cold-air induction, custom Z and F Stage 2 re-map, Electric boot release, braided hoses, Blue Magnecor leads, Technozen relays, Stage 1 head, BMW Angel Eyes headlights, "MG" puddle lights.

Re: Security Issues
Hi,
Can anyone help me?
My MGF bonnet won't open. I think the cable has snapped. It means I can't get in to charge my battery and I need to go shopping.
Regards,
Helena

Re: Security Issues
What happens when you pull the bonnet release? Does it move and nothing happen or is the lever stiff?

Re: Security Issues
Hi and welcome to the forum
You can charge the battery by connecting the charger to the positive of the starter or the alternator and the earth to the body of the car.
