Re: Temperature gauge not working - diagnosis

Changing the gauge in the instrument cluster isn't too difficult either, if it comes down to that... Actually, another potential problem could be the loose printed circuit on the back of the instrument pack. If the instrument pack has been removed previously, it is possible to damage one of the copp...

Re: Dicky dipstick

The remote filler and dipstick are in two parts, there is a normal pipe coming from the engine block and this is connected into the plastic filler. It is quite possible that the parts have come adrift. with a screwdriver it is possible to remove the top of the filler and shine a light into it to se...

Re: NSF ride height low post pothole

Hi Mike, As standard, the MGF suspension units are interconnected front to rear. If there is insufficient fluid, the whole side will drop. A single wheel being at a different ride height to the other three units does, to me at least, suggest an internal failure of the NSF hydragas unit - as Charles ...

Re: MG TF Fails to start

I've not come across the engine temperature sender causing a hot start problem on an MGF/TF before. A bit odd - a temperature sender issue usually gives a high idle when the engine is warm along with excess fuel consumption, as the ECU "thinks" the engine is still cold, and it essentially doing the ...

This one looks to be the same, brand new, but will need the H-pattern sticker to replace the "MOMO" logo if you want the genuine look: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/295936988628?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1V3M7r8l3TkGZ6qETBAfLlw63&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=10...

Re: MGF STYLING

Which style are you looking to purchase Stew? Mike Satur responds best to a telephone call. I suspect that RPS may be the same :) Good news that RPS are still responding to queries, but I think they're winding down (unless they've found a buyer for the whole business?) No update on their website sin...

Re: electric window problems

Both my windows dont work. I’ve checked the pull out fuses and all are ok. What are the other fuses and could it be one of the yellow relay fuses This could be many things - and the options may depend on how they failed (did they both suddenly stop working together) and the age of the car, as there...

Re: seats

Just to agree with the above. The SRS is plug and play - it won't retain a fault when disconnected and reconnected. Seat removal is all pretty straightforward :) I don't think I have fitting instructions for the seats on my website, but this page on making a "universal" mounting for aftermarket seat...

Re: Wiper motor

Make sure that the underbonnet lining goes over the motor. Geoff F +1 on what Geoff says. You probably don't need to work out why I know :roll: BTW, you can fit a later TF wiper motor to an MGF, but you have to remove the plugs from both, and fit the MGF plug to the TF wiper harness. I have done th...

Re: MG TF Fails to start

Hi David - interesting that the hot idle speed is too low - I wonder whether the idle control valve is sticking? It may need replacing if so, but potentially may respond to a good clean in carb or brake cleaner?

Re: TF tracking, take the correct settings with you.

By the looks of things, they've got mixed units on this report: mm for toe-angle and degrees/minutes for camber/trust angle. Really confusing way to present the data.

Does your TF have an adjustable lower suspension arm?
