thanks to everyone who replied.
I will get one of the fuel tank Spydas and see what the crack with fitting it is .
thanks

thank you for your response on this, obviously this will give me a low level warning but do you know if it will also make the fuel gauge more realistic and user friendly .
To just add something to the fuel level oddities of the MGF/TF ,I have a MGTF fascia on my bench to trace out the wiring to cure a problem with the boot open warning not operating and asked my wife to just watch the warning lights while I wired up a battery to test with and she said I hade a full tank of fuel !!
So why does the fuel gauge sit where it is resting after a drive ,most other vehicles return to zero.?

Hi all,
this question has probably cropped up before but has anyone fitted a low fuel level system to an MGF/TF?
I know they didn't have one on models up to the Chinese variant but I believe they may have been fitted to later cars.


thanks

Adam,
followed your notes on the TF compliance washers but found I had to make mine to fit over the central bush post ( picture attached).
I raised the back of the trailing arm( compliance bush end) using a wooden block and a jack.
This allowed me to fit the 2 compliance washers between the bush centre ( as photo) and the end of the trailing arm ,I noticed that the trailing arm has a rectangular washer ( think its called a snubber washer) attached to it so the new compliance washer needs to fit in the way my photo shows.
Incidentally , my O/S compliance bush was devoid of rubber isolating material on its top end and was clanging and knocking all the time but now is quiet.
I did do the opposite side while having the car up on stands and there was more rubber isolation on the N/S bush hence it wasn't knocking.
I will be doing further driving checks in the coming months to see if stability is affected but I don't think it will be.

glad you worked it out, incidentally why was it dissembled in the first place?
