Steve’s amateur (A MATE U R) garage. Can the amateur mechanic successfully replace the rear bearings on the daily driven MGTF, now with over 100,000 miles on the clock?
The project MGTF could easily be described as the last Great British sports car, as described in the Fifth Gear - MGTF review, soft top showdown. In the next few weeks we will be repairing the TF 02 sensor, the engine mounts and the annoying rattle coming from inside the door.We show you how to remove the door panel, and we had to remove the hard top to investigate the noise, this required the anti lock straps on the soft top to be moved in the rearward direction to enable us to lower the roof correctly. Having recently replaced the head gasket on the MGTF/MGF we will be keeping a close eye on the coolant level to ensure we do not overheat. A common issue with the MGTF and the K SERIES engine.
The trails and tribulations of living with an MG TF as your daily driver. Has it survived another winter?
An overview of the interior, coolant system , bodywork and general running experience of my 97,000 mile everyday driver. Break downs, recent expenditure and Maintenance.
Hopefully this video will be helpful to anyone considering purchasing an MG TF.
Previous work on my MG TF included the replacement of the stainless steel coolant pipes, head gasket replacement for the up graded three layer gasket, suspension completely overhauled with new shock absorbers, drop links, etc. If you have enjoyed the recent Flipping Bangers episode, restoring an MGF then you should enjoy this video as the MG TF is a very similar car, and the work Will and Gus did on their car is very relevant to this one.
