The MGF Register Forums

Great weekend all round apart from the Friday night weather !! ONe of the best MG LIve's yet I think - just need to improve Saturday night a bit but I gather the club were a little let down over that. However gave us a chance for a second barbecue back on the campsite ! Here's some pics from the we...

Hi and welcome.

As I gently polished my MGZS in XPower Grey, the engine gently purred as I read out the idea of an XPower gathering. Got to be done.

PS; No I havent lost it.

Hi folks
Have got my MGF back now, it drives again hooray;
So will now be going to both saturday and sunday events.

Also check the underbody steel pipes havent rusted, as happened to me recently. Even then after I had those replaced it nearly got home and the hose blew, as fixing the pipes put the pressure back on the hoses. I might get it back for the weekend.

Hi Andy Like the car and welcome to the forum, I got mine for a real random reason. I origanally bought a Metro to keep the mileage down on my ZS, but I had got used to people commenting on the ZS and when I got the Metro, friends laughed and not to mention lack of power steering and central locking...

I must agree with the above statement that people are important, I myself joined the MGOC first as I was sure it was the best, I then discovered the MGCC and also joined that I read both magazines, but I look forward to the safety fast more so as I feel it caters more for the modern MG. I myself own...

I know exactly how you feel, I had not long had my MGF and the head gasket went, now I have just replaced the pipes underneath and the cat. My mechanic was bringing it back to me tonight got within half a mile of home and a pipe blew filling the cockpit full of smoke, not major I know but I just wan...

Hi Mike

May I congratulate you on an excellent choice of car.

Thanks Geoff After your reply, I had the car checked out turns out that the underbody pipes had corroded, and to add insult to injury the cat had gone as well. Good day all round. I think I have now replaced most of the inner workings of the car, previous owner killed of the car, but she has enjoyed...

Hi Coopermg

A big welcome from myself as well, needed to also point out that another good reason for joining the MG Car Club, is that you can save a packet on car insurance, through the club. Can only be good news alround.

Have fun see you soon.

Hi Steven

Good choice of car, don't worry I have an MGF 1.8i and an MG ZS 120+ and a lot of people say that I am having a mid life crisis! But I don't care it's a passion and I have no thoughts on swopping cars.

Hi Gary

Welcome to the forum, hope you strike up some friendly contacts and find the forum very usefull.

Martin

Sorry Les

Did send a private message, glad that you are sorted though. Let me know what you think.
All the best.

Recently changed the ZS to smoked chrome against XPower Grey looks great, havent got to doing the MGF yet.
Just make sure you do as I do and park in the middle of the road, that way they stay in great condition, paranoid about damaging them.

Thanks gives me a few other areas to look at.

Have had similar problems with mine. I have had the head gasket done, but have suffered overheating on a few occasions, once emptying 75% of the expansion tank and the other times the levels had just dropped a bit, i always carry anti-freeze in the boot as a backup, its has been a pain but keep chec...

Welcome Matthew and Francesca, glad you are enjoying yourselves.
