that place is quite cool - stayed there a few times. views are awesome. its about 20 miles from cromer though...

cheers for the advise - will pop to halfrauds and get myself a spanner set

hi all when i release my handbrake it is still free to move enough to allow the light to come on. done a quick search and i dont think the calipers are sticking on as the car drives as it should and does not slow down rapidly when i let off/coast. basically while im driving and hit a bump the light ...

I had this when I first got my F. turned out to be a tyre at the back was flat, but you couldnt see it due to the low profile tyres...

tried tapping the face but that didnt do anything :( lol spoke to the garage where i bought the car and they spoke to mg (read : looked at their website). They said that there is no offical figure for normal running oil temp, but that between 100 and 130 is quite normal... They will have to eat thei...

thanks for all the advise guys, its much apreciated - i will give the garage I bought the car from a call at lunch time and see what they have to say

I do not consider 120 as high. Nor do I, but after 15 miles at 50 MPH? That is the only issue I have with this subject.

its a 1999 model

Is it just an electrical fault then? that I can live with, just dont want the engine going bang!

Hi all Just want to check that this is right - only had the pleasure of driving my MGF VVC about 50 miles and I have noticed my oil temp sits at about 120 once it has warmed up... this is on my commute to work (15 miles on a relativly straight road averaging 50mph) Is this temperature correct? seems...

i thought it was only mini owners who waved at eachother :lol: to be honnest iv owned a fair few cars with a lot more grunt than this (took part in quite a few trackdays in a couple of them as well). I did however have some fun in it at lunchtime - back end seems fairly planted but it had been raini...
