The Le Mons 365 Challenge - Featuring the MGF! 9 years 8 months ago #150336

I emailed Jenny at 5.30 this morning but haven't had a read receipt (had the one from my CC straight away), Hopefully her email client didn't bin it as it comes from "administrator @ babelfish . demon . co . uk" as this is the only way I can get my email client to work.

Austec are the local TVR centre, used to be on the Gatwick Road, now behind the Vauxhall dealer.


I gather that's Evans Halshaw then in Crawley. The only TVR centre I knew was the one off the A25 London-Brighton Road at Salfords. Recovered a few TVR's to them when driving for Dorking Autos years ago.

So, should you buy an MGF? Well, obviously!!

And that's despite all the work that actually needs doing on my car. Looks like she's going to be losing some points straight away, but then, that's what happens when you buy a car for less than £1000, right? Or have I bought the Le Mons lemon?

Here's my blog post about the first two weeks of MGF ownership

Don't worry, still loving her and still think she's the best car in the fleet!

I've been away, so sorry if someone has already told you this, but the header tank is only supposed to be filled to the middle seam.

So does the coolant fill the expansion tank when the engine is running? Then drop back down when it cools?:shrug:

Yes, but not always. Like I said, got my ex (the mechanic) replacing the rad and pipework next week :)

Take a moment to catch up with Simon's latest ramblings about the pleasure of Toyota ownership..

The summer is coming to an end and Simon's been spending some time, and money, on getting his car 'just right'..

Any Toyota MR2 fans here?
