The latest issue of Car Mechanic magazine has a piece on buying parts for the F and TF. But I'm not sure I would take their advice after reading the caption to this photo:

ummm, yeah, great advice lol.

Bloody hell, I've never checked mine. Where's the reservoir?

I spose you could at a loooong stretch, refer to the acid in the battery, as the power steering fluid!

Christ my car is 11yrs old I know its never been looked at. Most do it soon thanks

Classic .................................................. wonder what numpty proof read that before publishing?

So is it an easy job to replace it ?

Hi seems it's commonplace.
This from the online car mechanics site.

"CM Visit: MG at Longbridge. Nice decades after Cecil Kimber created the first MGs, we visit the Birmingham factory where today's cars bearing the MG name are assembled."


Perhaps they should disable predictive twix.

EPAS the E stands for electric there is NO fluid to change

Sorta makes one a bit cautious about following any advice that CM offers.... It has always been shit, tbh, since the 70's and no doubt previous to that.

'Stop annoying brake squeal by applying engine oil liberally to pads and discs'
'Increase front brake pad life by only ever using the handbrake to stop. Or just coast to a halt.'
'When opening the bonnet of an F or TF, you will note that the engine closely resembles a spare wheel. Also, a common trick of sellers is to try and hide an old engine in the boot. Don't be fooled...'
'Don't dismiss the under-rated TF Diesel engine option: though only a two cylinder 874cc normally aspirated unit, 0 to 60 times of under 2 minutes are attainable by a sporting driver. The mpg of 120 is not to be dismissed either.'
'A family-friendly 4 door TF hatchback is available'
'Music cassette storage is available in the the glove box lid on the 2005 model year....'

I may have made some of the above up....

Yes. They've all been printed now.
