I have a 1996 Mk1 MGF and I replaced the 8 year old Bosch battery in June 2023 with a VARTA Silver 075 battery, the car is not getting used very much due to ULEZ , its locked on my drive, The car still starts after three weeks of inactivity , I will top it up with the CTEK next week ready for a run. It is the alarm and clock that pulls the battery down, the cold weather does not help batteries.
I have a 1996 MGF and at 70,000 miles I replaced the clutch Master cylinder and Slave cylinder ( Clutch arm is free) at the same time I fitted a Lotus Slave cylinder stiffening bracket, also a Mike Satur bell crank. I noticed an improvement in the clutch feel & operation, easier selecting gears & reverse with minimum crunching. new fluid as well,

is Paul Brown, he is able to supply both Lucas & Pektron fobs but they have to be programmed to the car with Rover T4 Textbook programme or P scan.
I must be the lucky one, I have never had any problems with Hermes/Evri/etc with damaged or lost parcels or the crap that''its delivered in the bin, in next doors rose bushes or under the car. I also agreed to send a MGF steering wheel to a friend in Canada, by Canada Post, to my surprise it was picked up from my house by Hermes, and handled by them in stages al the way to the destination in Canada , I tracked it al the way and it arrived on time, excellent service . I received one small parcel three months late from them clearly addressed to me with an extra label saying '''NOT NEXT''' it had obviously gone to the clothing company. Hermes probably deliver about 10 parcels a week to my address.
I send Graham Underwood messages using Facebook PM's (I don't know his alias here sorry). A brake servo brace and a snorkel brace are two different things. I fitted a servo brace in 2012 while doing a major service on the brakes ( Discs, pads, refurbished callipers, braided hoses, and fresh fluid) Apologise for the delay in answering your question.
