Re: Headlamp Conversion RHD to LHD, Possible?

Given that early car values are now around £500 less for those with dead engines - surely scouring the paper for one of those in LHD is the answer? A weekend with a spanner and few more spare parts to go into the shed? Or do they hold their value better in Canada?

Re: Has anybody bought a hardtop?

If mine had a hardtop I would sell the hard top and buy something more useful to me... My old Stag had a hardtop and it lived on ropes in the garage :) pointless accessory on a funday car - probably needed on a daily driver.

Re: An MG in it's Sunday afternoon natural habitat - a pub p

Ahhh a yes normally - but mine is back at the dealers on Thursday and Friday for its belated PDI - having paid for it the dealer said "it's such a lovely weekend why not take the car now and we will do the PDI later. :) Unfortunately later is then. Could be in the red shed instead :) Funnily enough ...

Impressed, I cannot hear my passenger above 40mph.... And you need to refine the sound output :-)

OK where's the heated rear window switch...

Now I travel on business a lot and am hopping in and out of hire cars often. By the time the SatNav has figured out where I am and where I am going I've normally got most of the buttons and levers all sorted. So why with plenty of time (and any feeble excuse to go sit in the car) can I not find the ...

Excellent purchase price... a lot of car for not a lot of money. Now nail it back together and get some miles in... :)

Re: soft top reviver

I've used Renovo products in the past - too great effect. Extended the life of the hood by a couple of years.

Re: New South Midlands Rep.

New owner here - it's a Funday / Hiday car - so definitely up for an excuse to use it for a beer / meet of an evening. You can all tell me how much I over paid for her, whilst marvelling at how I manage to fit behind the wheel.

Re: New MG TF 135 Sprint owner - North Suffolk

Hello - that's the same colour as mine (purchased yesterday) - well at least I know what the proper name is now.

Mine is on low profile tyres - I like the wheels but normal tyres seem to fit the arches a lot better. You couldn't let me know what the correct tyre size is?

Re: what have you done on your mgf today?

Bought it! Then spent six hours trying to figure out how it could live in the garage with a pool table, weight bench, five bikes and a stepper. Ohh and still figuring how to explain the small hole in the bank account to the boss - the mass of black bags and junk in the garden awaiting tipping might ...

Hello :)

Hello from a new TF owner. A low mileage gun metal grey one to be exact. I bought it quite by mistake - I've been humming and harring over one for a month or so. Then this morning walking out of a bike shop having bought a new tyre for no 2 son I popped into a little car showroom which I never do (n...
