Firstly hello people, im new to the forum!!!!
I purchased a 1997 1.8i mgf late last year which was pretty much put straight into storage over the winter, on getting it out this week and taking it for the m.o.t we have discovered a few things i need advice on correcting!!
No 1 Rear brake caliper seized
No 2 Handbrake only operating at 13%.
No 3 Horn not working (works when alarm activated).
No 4 New back box required (Any tips would be fantastic as on first glance it looks like the bolts are well and truly seized!!).
Also on a none mot related issue the ride height seems really low compared to other mgf's ive seen resulting in the back box scraping the ground alot hence wearing a hole in it!! whats the easiest way to add height to the susspension??
i bought this car as something to tinker with and have fun in the summer so intend to do as much of the work as possible myself:confused::confused:
all advice appreciated, regards stewart.

The suspension pump up should cost you around £50.00 and can only be done by someone with a proper suspension pump, you car would seem to be so low that there could be additional problems. have a look on the internet for someone in your area to do this work.
