I got a nice shiny TF air intake for under the bonnet - so I can get rid of the water trap F one on Meg... Needless to say it poured down today but.. I am sure there was a tutorial somewhere I've seen, but just cant find it through googling! Any help would be appreciated...


(Mines not new but good condition, so I'll be adding silicone to the foam surround when I put it on!)

I think the tutorial was on the MGOC website, but you need to be a member to view it now!

is this a problem on the mgf, as ive noticed water pools on my slampannel under the bonnet.

It is usually a problem associated with Mk 1 Fs. Water gets into the heater intake and ends up in the passenger footwell.
If you don't have a swimming pool in there, you're probably OK.

OH MINES FINE, ITS THE SLAM PANEL WHATS COLLECTING WATER. IT RUNS OF THE BONNET THEN GAATHERS THERE, I WILL HAVE A CLOSER LOOK TOMOZ

Adam is going to modify it and post it up as a How to.......! dont get tetchy, both the MG owners club and the MG Car club are paranoid about copyright, but we can get round these things.

I like inventiveness. Nice one!
