Hi all, well I got the MGF serviced along with just a gearbox oil change. I did ask if the garage
-ShawFix Autos, Hythe, SO45 great guys -
that if a filter could be sourced, fit one please. However, no such luck. I spoke to Brown & Gammons and was told they recieved a shipment of filters but they weren't of a suitable quality, so back they went. So perhaps all may not be lost, in the not too distant future a new supply may be on the way.
Thanks for all your help everyone. Spring may be on the way.
