Hi Lander MG   

if you have no door rattles -then just do some lubrication of the window channels and check the window height is not crushing the door seal.
Also one of my favourites ,is too disconnect the two wires to the mirror de-icer on the passenger side -its on all the time drawing 1 amp out of the battery,
Who drives an MGF or TF on an icy day anyway-instant brown trouser time!!

Hi both,
David-I would have expected that the alarm would have gone off..
This has happened to me in my old MGF -it cant lock because of some obstruction..
I will try and think what caused my problem.
If this was a TF I would have gone for the SCU relays.-but the F does'nt seem to have relay issues.

Talking Cars

just by accident whilst releasing the tension of the lower damper bolt I found that the nasty squeak goes away when I bounce the rear of the car , the squeak returns if I torque up the bolt again.

I have ordered up new bolts to see what happens when the bolt is replaced and tightened

Mike

.

yes -not very secure ?

Mike

I see what you mean -set the pc date to 2005 temporarily

thanks

Mike

I will let you know what I find when I remove the damper/spring assy -interesting about the damper bolt snapping though.

Broken springs don't seem to trouble TF/s , which is why I not expecting to find one broken.

I am looking for any ideas on the following self inflicted problem.

I made a mistake of driving down a farm track , couldn't get far down and had to reverse back up to the main road. Unfortunately I didn't notice a large crater at the end of the farm tack where it joined the road and my rear offside wheel fell into it and made a loud noise, Since then I get a horrible creaking noise when I reverse while braking ( suspension dipping) . I jacked up the rear to investigate and removed the rear wheels and put another jack under the rear offside hub area and raised the suspension and it creaks quite loudly on dropping down .Tried the same on the rear n/s and it is creak free. The noise appears to come from above the lower suspension area.
any ideas welcome

Mike

What a magnificent bit of radio theory ( a treat for all of us radio hams) , god -we will be on to Standing Wave Ratio's in UHF transmission lines next.

Unfortunately I have a TF mk2 with SCU and Pektron fob (no aerial ) -the only way to alter this one is to dig inside the SCU and track down the UHF transmission chip and its thin film wave guide .
