Water leaks

Good morning I am attending to some of the water ingress on my 1996 F the off side carpet was very wet which appears to be the front seal however the drivers seat feels wet is it possible for the seat to soak up water from the carpets any advice welcome

I think there is a guy who makes a replacement centre console to take a double din unit, the oil temp gauge and clock get moved to a lower position

tf exhaust onto mk1f

Hi I have acquired a tf mgoc exhaust. I want to fit this to a mk1 f. I know i need an adaptor to fit it. I also have a potential issue with the cat - can I fit a tf cat to it and block the sensor fitting on the tf cat? A mk1 f only had one lambda sensor. Cheers.

Re: Radio/internals fuse continually blows + 'Boot Open' lights

Had the same problem found wire shorting on the loom where it attached on the l/h boot hinge so check there first as it's quite easy to get to, also check the harness around the back of the radio although you have to do a bit of stripping down around the centre of the dash to get to this good luck

Re: Non Starting MGF

I rebuilt my vvc mech a while ago due to a cracked housing it wasn't a bad job really there's loads of info out there but until its all in pieces in front of you it doesn't make lot of sense but if you got the head off and back on again it shouldn't be that much of a problem

Re: Non Starting MGF

Could be coolant left in the exhaust system maybe a good run will sort it out if there are no overheating issues
