The MGF Register Forums

Um.... looks like I better see my friendly mechanic, because that is wayyyyyy past my limitations lol

So looked at this topic and did what was offered - which included checking fuse and also changing bulb - something else I noticed is that the main beam indicator dosen't seem to be working when switched to main beam - all other electrics no problems... and suggestions?

This site is so useful - the tooth floss trick works perfectly to saw though the adhesive with no damage - and also gave my car a nice minty freshness

All sorted - looks like this is a bigger battery as I had to use the other bracket. Started first time and looks like some good weather on the way - happy days

Jump start it & buy a CTEK battery conditioner :D Still buy a CTEK even with a new battery. if you do buy a battery get the 075 one, not the smaller one, can't remember what number the smaller one is, 063? I generally buy a new battery if I can't tell how old the one fitted is when I first service ...

Think I will just get new battery been quoted £57 - pick it up tomorrow!

lol - just getting in to this MG lark - just got worried when had machine gun sound effect - I thought a flat battery normally sounds like me getting up in the morning!!

Phew thank you - if I run it around for a while do you think it would be ok ?

Just returned from Spain been away for 3 weeks - and went to start my new baby and It sounds like a machine gun firing ,.... click click click click etc .... is this the battery if so I will happily purchase another and if it is ...is it ok to jump lead start it from my other car? Thanks all -

Now I have the car, I totally concur! Plenty of room - what a nob-head

It would be a bugger to park at Tesco's though!

That's a very good point

Sorry to say that £1200 is over priced Chris. :( Good TFs are around at this price level. Are you set on buying an MGF? As mentioned above, Tony has been offering a TF135 for sale at around that price... he's in Wiltshire - so hopefully not too far from you. I am in talks with him right now! I take...

PM'd you

Welcome to the Forum Chris :D I'm not busy Saturday and Live in Poole and would happily be a second set of semi knowledgeable eyes for you if you want. PM me if you want contact details. That said I know Tony and his TF should be all it says it is... Also we have a sub natter out at the True Lovers...

I am on the phone to him later - that's why I wanted to know what you would ask him! Have knocked him down to £1200.
