The MGF Register Forums

I'll need to get the headlight alignment checked as I fitted the HID's into a replacement set of second hand, but good reflector headlights. This was in an attempt to preserve the reflectors as the new HID's are lower wattage at 35W so they run cooler. I did compare the physical position of the adju...

Hello. If they are correctly setup by a garage I don't see why they shouldn't be OK as that should ensure that oncoming drivers are not dazzled. If they pass an MOT then as far as I'm concerned then they are safe to be on the car and as long as I'm not flashed then the Xenons are serving the purpose...

Hello all. The headlights on my '97 VVC were looking very sad and misted up. I'm pretty sure they'd have failed the next MOT in Feb and the light output was poor. I managed to find a very good condition 2nd hand set on a well known auction site at a good price and duly shelled out some hard earned! ...

Thanks for the info

Hi All. I'm borrowing a trolley jack to lift the front end of my newly aquired VVC and plonk it down with it's front wheels on a pair of ramps (Have always hated driving up ramps!).

She's very good underneath and has had stainless water pipes, radiator, replacement underbody p...

Thank's guys

Hi Gary and Dave J. Thank you for the welcome. Here's a couple of pics DSC00042.JPG DSC00043.JPG I took a bit of a risk as she was purchased without actually getting to inspect the car, but she came from a well known and trusted source from what I can gather, in fact they have already sent me a coup...

Hello everyone.
My '97 Diamond white MGF VVC got delivered to me on Monday 18th August so I'm new to the forum and the register as well as the MGF.
I'm in the Aylesbury area and I'm already building up a long list of questions to ask!
