Good afternoon My F has just passed its mot with one notification front wheel, bearing a little noisy I have looked on the reputable parts sites and there seem to be 2 bearings on offer The genuine [timken i believe] and an alternative at almost half the price, Bearing in mind i only do about 2500 m...

good afternoon i have a 1999 1.8 vvc F. I have NOT noticed the engine bay cooling fan operating even in the recent vary hot conditions. I checked the operation of the fan..removed wires from sensor,,fan works fine. The engine bay seems to be very hot although the water and oil temp gauges are not to...

thanks for your replies. It looks like there is no easy fix My cover is perfect other than the lining. This morning i completely removed the lining and what foam was still there, easily brushed off the cover. I was wondering what the lining did ? It presumably protects the cover where it touches the...

hi all.. The lining of the cover is I believe like a layer of thin foam. This is a original cover so i assume the foam is 20 years old..Problem foam is breaking down into a fine light brown dust that gets absolutely everywhere. Is there anything that could be sprayed into the lining or has anyone re...

hi charles
thanks for letting me know
rgds tony
I will keep my eyes open for another

hi charles I see we both voted for rad cap on another post. It makes you wonder how many people have change head gaskets unnecessarily . Anyway, i did contact you previously re your items for sale..the boot rack. We have not long had the F and i thought it a good idea to have but was talked out of i...

hi there i am new to Fs but a ckub member. When o bought my f two people told me always to carry a spare rad cap,. Touch wood i have had no probes BUT a friend of mine bought a very cheap f with water loss probs and overheating..The assumption being HG/ I lent him my spare new cap and he presto, pro...

An engineer who knows more than i do advised me to run up the vvc engine every couple of weeks when sornd.
That may be overkill, but i had no problems after a lay-off

good afternoon all I have searched the archives for this but found nothing recent so.... I was looking at getting the diagnostic tool for my F, but sods law, i have the MEMS2J set up. The diy tools i have found dont seem to be compatible with the mems2 as the mems2 in not OBD2 compatible I am only l...

ho rob thanks your interest further to a call to mgoc spares, the guy i spoke to found another part number for later Fs not listed in any parts book and also not available Ihey were happy to take back the one with the npt thread I investigated this new part number and it would seem it was fitted to ...

I need to replace my oil temp sensor..the one for the temp gauge not the one for the vvc. The car is a 1999 and the correct sensor is ycb100290. HOWEVER. The thread in the new one is npt and the one i am replacing is larger..12mm . Searching various forums it would seem Rover had parts supply probs ...

hi again many thanks again your help. I think my confusion originated from the 'elise; description of the part. I was looking for replacement bushes for the stabilizer which are not available from mg. They are from Lotus but they call it the 'upper' arm I think that is mystery solved Thanks again tony

thanks your reply
the part number in the rimmer book is kkh100782. This is the same part as fitted to the elise and called the upper or toorque reaction steady.
Maybe it is only fitted to TFs as opposed to Fs. Mine is an F
Thanks again

tony

good e.
evening folks....Help
After a bit of groping in the dark i have been unable to locate the top engine stabilizer assy, called, i believe , the torque reaction steady
If someone can tell me where to look i will promise to get some new specs after the lockdown !!!!!!!!!

hi charles
thanks your reply. It is definitely the OAT antifreeze mix
It is loosing this while the engine is not running.. If it was the head gasket i would guess it would pump out more
when the engine is hot and running. I think some further investigation will be in order
rgds tony

hi everyone..hope you are all keeping well
I have a 1999 1.8vvc and there is a small amount of antifreeze mix on the garage floor almost immediately under the oil filter.
i cant find any obvious signs of leaks. Any suggestion welcome

rgds tony

hi thanks your replies re video..the micro on the phone is not good enough to reproduce the noise Re tensioner the p/o replaced head gasket and belts in 2013/4. I have receipts for most of what was done but cannot see a tensioner on the receipts. The head it self was overhauled. No sign of water pum...
