Re: Won't start in the damp
Thanks Mykel, that is certainly step by step, but I don't think I can do that, I'm just not familiar enough with it all to identify the parts, let alone be sure what I'm doing with them. How did you even begin (top or under?)?! Nevertheless, I'll have a good read and re-read of it, and if I have som...

Re: Won't start in the damp
Can I check the coils myself? Like I said, I'm not familiar with the technicalities of MGFs. Used to know a bit about what I was doing with old MGs, but it's a black box of seemingly unreachable stuff with the MGF! Step by step please, how do I get to the coils and if I get to them how do I know if ...

Re: Won't start in the damp
The battery is only 3 months old. Replacing it has made no difference. New leads have made no difference.
Which cables are you referring to Geoff.F?

Won't start in the damp
This has been a longstanding issue with my '98 MGF but now I would like to really resolve the issue as the will it-won't it uncertainty is presenting a problem for the morning commute. If my MGF if left out in the rain overnight under no cover, it is very 50/50 if it will start in the morning. It tu...
