  • Thanks chaps, are the Yokohama Advan Fleva V701 not a suitable tyre too? I read plenty of places that they were, having been developed specifically for the MR2.

    Im not saying they are not suitable as I don't know, nor am Ia tyre expert, however MG Motors hsve made a statement that the only two tyre manufacturers they recommend are Toyo for their T* range or Falken Z* range, although both have been superseeded now but remain the go to tyres by pretty much all the F/TF owners that I know from the two clubs I belong to, I myself use Toyo Tr1 or T1r cant remember which one is the newest version but over the last 10 years I have not had any issues in "normal driving" although I have been known to push on shall we say ;-)
    As long as you ensure the side walls are XL especially on the back, and have four wheel alignment (tracking) correct tyre pressure, you have a solid base to start on any further handling issues, my F is 23 years old 90k moles and still on original bushes and no handling issues, for what its worth TF are known to be very sensitive to tyres far more than the F. Good luck with sorting your issues.

  • I would change all four tyres for Toyo or Falken before anything, re-check all four corners tracking and try again, if the tyres are not xl side wall that can explain a lot.

  • They are identical, post cat is the one prior to the back box (post or after cat) most likely you have an aftermarket cat and just one momentary blip will actvate the engine management lamp, I get the same on a long run (fed up with reseting) so I have a mil eliminator from elise parts to fit. I got a replacement (bosch) Lambda from MGF n TF bitz when I changed the cat.

  • Yes they are compatible, obviously you need the associated downpipe I bought a Klarious one, although they seem to be cheap they are decent quality and were oem suppliers in my tenure at Rover Longbridge.

  • If they needed to cut costs they would’ve been better off giving the bean counters the arse than cheapscating the product.
    A race to the bottom is never a race you want to win………everyone but bastard bean counters understands that!

    Believe me BMW were as bad if not worse, I designed a trscking system to track a vehicle build and store the data on an RF tag, this data stayed with the vehicle from the initial frame build to leaving the gates on a transporter, the dealers would be able to access the data for warranty claims etc, the cost of the RF tag permanently attached to the vehicle (Mini in this case) was 40 pence, it was thrown out due to cost, go figure?

  • You are correct. "Project Drive" was a last ditch effort to keep manufacturing costs down, as far a rust proofing, etc, at a lot of processes were dropped due to cost, I saw this first hand, I was a Control Engineer for Rover for 16 years covering the 3 paintshops, in 2000 I was told O was a BMW employee and I had to move to Cowley, I refused the offer and went to work for a systems integrator retuning to "MGR" then ran by the phoenix 4 and was horrified the way that corners were being cut to make maximum profits from each vehicle, the dropping of hydrogas spheres was a commercial not an engineering decision Dunlop would not drop their costs, it was shame I watched decline first hand.

  • A piece of flatted plastic tube pushed over works well, it has for me, although there is a plastic update available cant provide a part number though.
