    After trying to replace the radio I no longer have a permanent live wire voltage. Can anyone tell me where to find a fuse or have I fried something that’s going to be a pain to fix. Any help appreciated

    Hi, wondering if anyone can help I recently tried replacing the radio in my 1999 mgf, but whilst I was doing it I checked the constant live voltage and it was fluctuating from about 5 volts to 12 or 13 volts. The interior lights only come on when the key is in the 2nd key position and doors open...

    Hi, Just had the head gasket changed on my 1999 1.8 mpi mgf. It was done by David at MG rover mobile mechanic. I did it because it was showing symptoms of head gasket failure and David said it did have head gasket failure. It has also had the piston rings changed. The car is still smoking and...

    Hi all, looking at a low mileage import MK1 F near me and considering it as a daily driver. It’s had all the important work done to it from what I can see (head gasket , SS exhaust and cooling pipes and many other things replaced) which gives some peace of mind but obviously they’re a fair age...

    Hi, I know it's a long shot, but I have to try... I have managed to scrounge all the parts needed to fit front foglight to my 2001 Trophy, all I need now to be sure of a quality job is the fitting template. I'm happy to buy them off you, or borrow them and pay postage both ways. Any chance...

    Hey guys! I’m looking to see if anyone from NZ owns an MGF on here! Im wanting to lower the car using pins or knuckles but since New Zealand doesn’t seem too involved in the MG community I have no idea where to even buy the lowering knuckles/pins or who could help install them if anyone could...

    Hello all, You will not find me very interesting. I am an ex-pat, don't own a car, and I won't even acquire one until I have returned to the UK. BUT......I am, albeit nostalgically, an admirer of Austins, Rovers and MG. I am educating myself about more of the models from these marques. Hence my...

    I’m about to buy a 98 S plate F that’s been in my car park forever as a bit of a project. It’s got a fair bit of rust on the cat and I’m guessing whole underside. Body work is great with the exception of a few dents on the skirts. Interior is moulded through but with no rips tears. Engine looks...

    I just spent time starting to de-rust my front sub frame (off car) and realised it has had a whack and has some impact damage. I'm on the Isle of Wight. The damage is only a 3mm shunt but the rear wishbone bolt and captive nut is jammed up. Anyone with an impact free front subframe?:)

    Hi all, first post on the forum so apologies if I’ve plonked this in the wrong place! I’ve got a very faint ticking/grating noise coming from my steering but only at certain points, it’s not continuous. It’s a 2000 Steptronic if that makes any difference. Hopefully you can hear it in the video...

    Hi, Had an MOT failure for rust on the offside Sill being within 30 cm of the suspension mounting - I think this may be a common problem with Rover's in general I know a friend of mine had his 75 needing the Sill replaced. My question is, is this an expensive procedure to get this cut out and...

    Hello there everyone I brought myself a new MGF 22 years ago (T reg) and have really enjoyed it, but over the past few years, it has just sat on my driveway and I've hardly driven it. Saying that I always get it serviced and MOT'd each year, infact I just had it MOT 'd last month again. The...

    Hi all, I am trying to track down a set of side scoop extensions for my MGF. I've looked everywhere but can't seem to locate any. Does anyone out there know of anyone still manufacturing these? Thanks and regards, Steve

    I've managed to do an almost complete LED light upgrade to my 51 plate MGF (I'll post a full list of what I've used when done for those interested), with one obvious exception. I know that I either need to fit load resistors (no thank you), or find a flasher unit which will cope with the much...
