The MGF Register Forums

I am in the process of fitting a reversing camera to my MGF and could do with a little help. I have sorted most of it out but the video cable has a red wire coming out of it, after research I believe this is called a trigger cable and I believe its function is once you engage reverse using this cabl...

I have a 1998 MGF. Two of the bulbs appear to have gone in the high level brake unit, i believe these can replaced but my searches on what type the bulbs are have come up with no answers. can anybody help please?

Thanks

Surely the main point is being missed here if an item is sold it should be fit for purpose. If it isn't you should expect a replacement or refund without having to waste your time chasing it. I'd be involving Ebay as its a shame the majority of traders are decent, shame to let poor traders get away ...

Hi Col. Mustard, welcome back good to see you. Hope the Trophy rekindles the passion you had for these great cars, by the way your old F which I bought off you before you ventured into the Lotus world is still going well Mate.

Tim with all the issue that appears to have happened with the email address I have resent my 3 entries, apologies if the first lot were received apologies.

I put this search into google....... refurbishing mgf tf petrol cap.....

It brought up a number of sites where guys have done How To's. One on T Bar looks quite good.

If none of the local lads around your area can help. Try Mg Obsession in Burton on Trent ( 01283 529914) when I was last up there he certainly had quite a few of different patterns.

After replacing my headlamps on my F with Trophy style I have a set which I removed.

They passed the MOT about 3 months ago although there is slight misting on one.

£60 the pair

Any questions please PM, they are located CW1, I really don't want to post.

Cheers Gary, will do. Thank you

There is a wire that runs the length the runs along the outer edge of the roof on my F. At the front end it looks like its corroded and broken off the lug it attaches to.

The question is can you buy a replacement and can they be fitted?

Thanks.

Hi looks a nice car.........surprising how these cars get in your blood :roll: :thumbsu: Done the same myself, sold one thought i'd been cured then bang one day found myself buying another and now one back in the garage again, I've given up now realise I'm smitten and told the wife when I go forget ...

Reading this the saying 'It never rains unless it pours' comes to mind. Good luck

Thanks a lot Tipper for the reply.

Guys a couple of quick questions, job I am contemplating replacing the seats in my 98 F. I read that before the job is started the battery must be disconnected and left to stand for 30 mins or so. I think I understand why this is necessary. However my questions are: Can I only use seats that have co...

Thanks again Gary

Thanks Gary, from the link you sent me looks like its a new stick I need to get hold off then.

Thanks again for the reply.

I'm guessing its the mechanism worn, but can anybody give a mechanically numpty like me some advice how I get to it and replace it please?

Rob

I am finding all of my tyres are loosing air, over a month or so they loose about half their pressure, had them checked by a garage thinking as I didn't appear to have punctures (not likely in 4 wheels I thought) is the air escaping as the tyres aren't sealed but the guys in the garage said this isn...

Just replaced mine to day with the kit the guys above are mentioning...... You don't know how chuffed I am with myself as I am such a non tech person I have been trying to get the confidence to do it for weeks, I can't tell you how many times I have read the various 'How To's' on the net, but plucke...
