    Hi all, I have a 98 MGF VVC and I've had a coolant leak pooling into the driver's footwell, about half a litre a day. I've taken the dash out to get a better look and it appears to be coming from a metal pipe which runs to the heater. It looks like the coolant is just exuding from the surface of...

    I'm thinking of getting some stainless steel coolant pipes fitted to my 2003 TF as the current metal pipes are spotting with rust but I'm wondering if I should get it done sooner rather than later as I've heard if the pipes start to leak you’re looking at major problems but I cling to the...

    Woot! Yesterday evening was a filthy dirty freezing backbreaking evening, during which I (with the help of a friend) succeeded in changing the inlet maifold gasket and changed all the coolant for fresh OAT. Doing that job in the dark is certainly interesting, but we got it done in the end...

    I wondered whether anyone might be able to give me some advice on this please: The heater knob in my new TF doesn't work - the knob just swivels 360 degrees and doesn't alter the heat when the fan is on. I've tried pushing the knob in to try and get some 'traction' but it doesn't make any...

    Sorry in advance for the long post, want to make sure you have all the info for this one. So I pulled into tesco petrol station at about 2am this morning. Realised after I opened my window it was making a new noise... not a good one. Popped the bonnet and had a look. It was a sort of rapid...

    Ok guys, so for the past few months I’ve been losing a little oil and coolant but it was nothing to worry about (high millage engine 111k) However, during this week I’ve had to do quite a lot of motorway miles and I’ve lost a hell of a lot more during the week. Each morning I would have to top...
