    Hello all, I'm a newbie to this forum, but have owned and loved my 1999 MGF for 5 years and cannot imagine life without her. Unfortunately, having had the head skimmed and HG replaced two years ago, my lovely lady is off the road again due to pressure problems which cased the header tank to burst last week. There are emissions in the coolant, but no oil in the water, and no water in the oil. The garage is telling me that the HG has gone, or there is a crack in the cylinder head itself, but not sure. I am able to pop along to your next meet at Buckfastleigh if that would be ok with you? I'm hoping that one of my fellow MG lovers will be able to offer some helpful advice, as I really don't want to lose her!

    Hi, guys.

    I've updated the list of attendees based on your responses above. I know there will be others coming along who don't use this forum.

    Anyone else who'd like to come along, just let me know by posting a reply.

    Looking forward to seeing everyone again tomorrow.

    Regards

      I won't be able to make it, or any Thursdays in term time as Dora working times have changed in the evenings.
