The MGF Register Forums

Hi Gary We are very interested, can I have first dibs please. The title says free or are you looking to sell? James Hi James, First dibs are yours :) and yes its totally free :D Cath has been driving it up until Friday so its a runner. If you PM me your number I can WhatsApp or Snap chat you a vide...

We are sad to say its time to let Cath's 1996 MGF go. Its in Charcoal Grey with matching hard top. The soft top is in excellent condition, it was brought from B&G and has a glass rear screen that works perfectly. The wheels are also in good condition (no curbing), Stainless exhaust, Stainless rear h...

Secondly is there anyone Cwnmbran way that can change the rear window in the hood? Before saying its an easy zip out job the rear window does not zip out on my hood. Any help much appreciated..... :thumbsu: I take it your rear screen is glass? As far as I am aware you can not replace the glass rear...

Hi Dallas,
Yes the hood should fit, a simple like for like swap.

When I fitted them on the F I didn't have to take the wings off just the wheel and liner, but it was a right pain in the a**e aligning the doors and I still don't the gap is consistent all the way round. So like yourself I am thinking of getting a pro to realign the door.

Just checked his web site, here you go.

Rimmer Bros and Brown & Gammons sell new hinges but are you sure you need them? It is normally the bushes that fit inside the hinge that have worn or the pins themselves. I tried to buy new pins for Cath,F a while ago but they was not available at the time. Mike Satur makes Stainless steel bushes (w...

A second vote for Renovo Restorer, we use Fabsil (from a can not aerosol) to waterproof after, much cheaper than branded hood waterproofer and in our opinion does a much better job.

I Guess you could do this method with the rood still on

The attached link will show you how to check your engine bay fan, its shows TF but the procedure is the same.

A friend had almost the same symptoms yesterday in their TF, turned out to be the battery.
I am probably asking the obvious but have you tried jump (not bump) starting it?

Gary

We have used this for the last five years on Cath's F and can highly recommend it.
We give the hood a good clean, treat with Renovo Soft Top Reviver Then when dry put the Fabsil on with a clean paint brush

Gary

I have used DRMGS a few times for parts, both Cath's F and my ZT and never had a problem with delivery, price or quality

PhilT4 is based in Milton Keynes, but you may find someone else a little closer

Good luck and let us know how you get on!

Phil has done some work on my ZT Cdti and he knows his stuff. It cant hurt to give him a phone call.
Send me a PM if you want his number.

Fingers crossed

I dont know anything about the science behind the Tyre debate, but can talk from experience. When we got Cath's F it had a cheep pair of matching tyres in the front and a different make of matching cheep tyres on the back. When we changed the back pair to Toyo's it made some difference to the handli...
