Im glad that Im not the only one with the problem:lol: It is reassuring to know that this may not cause a problem and I would be intrested to hear if you do change the valve.
Do you have a diagram/picture of the valve please?
I’ve got another problem with my new Mgf steptronic and wonder if you can help me please?
The car runs lovely except for every morning I drive down my road and as I go up a hill My Mg looses power as though there is a flat spot and I have to pull over, put the car into neutral and when I pull away everything is fine.
I do have a minor hunting when on tick over which is always there and the loss of power will not return until the following morning on the same route.
I have replaced my fuel filter and air filter.
The car did stand for a couple of years and was serviced before I purchased it and I have filled up fuel to 3quarters of a tank.
Apart from this issue and the steptronic noise, I love the car and I would love to fix these issues.
It is with a heavy heart that Iam selling my much loved Mgf as I have bought a steptronic model, due to health issues.

I've just put my new mgf steps peed on the road and the car drives well except for a noise that comes from inside my gearbox pulling away and at low speeds. I can only describe the noise like a slipping alternator belt noise. The previous owner had the gearbox replaced and the correct gear oil put in and the gearbox certainly looks nice and fresh. I wonder if it is something that would settle down as the car has been stood in a garage for 2 years or is there anything that I can check or repair please?
I love the car and being older now thought that it would be a good thing to replace from my manual mgf. I realise that the gearboxes were not the best but thought that this one would be good.
