The new pattern Toyo TR-1 tyres are a vast improvement on the older T1-R treads, I got rid of my set of T1-R's after 500 miles and moved on to Falkens, but now the Toyos are back in favour, good hard wearing grippy tyre and lots of confidence in the wet, just still cannot get used to the tread pattern!

Later TF's did not have the sensor fitted, they relied upon the engine temp sensor instead. I think they were phased out mid 2004

Have a look at the condition of the large blank grommet to the right of the snorkel. I found a line of corrosion around mine that had lifted the grommet seal and allowed water to seep through. I cleaned mine up and run a circle of touch up paint around the hole before refitting the grommet.
The top of the carpet will be dry as there is a plastic skin between the top of the carpet and the foam underside. Any water collecting on the top of the carpet will naturally dry up through evaporation, however any finding its way under will never dry out because of the plastic membrane.
To dry the carpets I lift the carpets back and squeeze out most of the water and use a fan heater to dry the foam out.

Call Darren Hardy at MGFnTFBITZ he will have the part numbers and probably the sensors if required and at competitive rates.
They are a great place for all our spares new or used.

The rack is not that bad to remove, and can be swapped over in a couple or three hours. If I remember the how to on here helped me out when I did mine. If i remember correctly, the replacement rack did not really seem any different, it was when I replaced the universal joint at the bottom of the steering column that connects to the rack that eliminated the slight play in my steering.
If you do take the rack out, I think you have to drop the rear mounts of the front subframe to give you enough room to get the rack out or at least on the nearside.

I was always led to believe that the chequered flag always sits above the Union Jack.

I was wondering if there were any third party badges made that did a St Georges flag badge or even a Saltire or St Andrews cross for our Scottish brethren. Welsh Dragon even!
