thanks Talking Cars
by the way did you need to drop one side of the rear subframe to do the rears-did you follow a How To from this forum?



Mike

David,
thanks for the reply-=I assume then that I will need to fit the MGF long bolts and replace the short ones that are fitted?

Mike

I have a pair of MGF style rubber filled sub frame mounts ( front type ) as they are the same size as the MGTF solid type does anyone know if they can be modified /reused on an MGTF subframe -there are plenty of these about .
thanks
Mike

yes -I agree with Sundance on this-there is some very good MG-ROVER trained mobile engineers out there I have used their services myself for cam belt work. You usually get a fixed price quote and done in your driveway.

Hi Whiz-great darkside mod--but does that bee sting antenna really pick up any fm stations?

regards

Mike

well done

TeJay,
there is a sort of micro switch (very mechanical) inside the boot lock mech difficult to see without looking up inside of the boot mech.
I am sure that I had this same problem as you are having and when I checked the mech with a spare one I have I found that the arm of the micro switch was not touching the other contact -it can be bent back into place
just an idea

Mike

Hi G7BNP--I did my resonator removal the old cut up way-then found out that it was possible to remove the resonator without hacking it to bits.

you need to remove the curved part of the res box ( it pulls out ) then you can waggle the res box upwards

too late for you now

regrds

thanks for your replies, I have recently found something pertaining to my gearbox and juddering issue that points to a problem on the o/s engine mount bolts.

does anyone have any information relating to o/s engine mounts and snapped or missing bolts?

I will check this area on my MGTF as soon as I can

Mike

thanks for that analysis-what I can add is that I accidentally overfilled the gearbox a few months ago but i have since drained the box .
took out 3 liters ( max is 2.5 liters drained) and refilled with 2 litres of the correct fluid.
The 3rd gear test as you suggested, behaves just the way you described.
thanks for the comment on the flywheel.
Do think I can rule out engine mounts

Mike.
