Feeling Blue

[Stu]

The dreaded HGF has struck my TF...I'm sure you all know all about hgf and more so i won't go on

It's still a shock when it happens even though i have been prepared for the possiblity .

[Rich]

That's such bad news, but as you know I'd sorta guessed it would be. I wasn't trying to get you feeling low, just to prepare you for the worst. And at least it's where it can be sorted out and back on the road soon!!!!

Yeh thanks,just waiting on a call monday for an update.It's my everyday car so it just makes things worse

Gutted to hear this mate, but hopefully once fixed with an MLS gasket that'll be job done and loads of confidence in the car onwards..

Are you sure your talking to the right Blue? It was Blue Steel you tried to give the evil eye to

No wonder you have so many posts.......you need to post twice to get it right

Stu, if you need a car I can lend you my Trophy. I'd like to keep the Z in case of the dogs but you are welcome to the F.

Oh yeah, I reckon you're right! It's been a tough week. Perhaps I should try getting some sleep between work, websites and forums!

Anyway, it does get so confusing what with all these trophy blue cars...!

You have my sympathy mate. I'm still trying to recover from this week too but I'm getting there with a nice large scotch

[Stu]

Thanks for comments guys and your kind offer dave(driving the trophy would be cool ) but im borrowing parents corolla for a couple of days.

hope to have it back tuesday but will see,anything else to be done and rather they didn't rush it.

This is going hurt the pocket and put back my list of mods oh the joys of mg motoring eh.

[Stu]

Head gasket fixed and TF collected today and drove home in the pooring rain and stuck in tail back on m1 which tested all the fans coming on and no leaks when i got home.... except the drivers window !!

A big hole in my pocket but happy to get my car back

[Seb]

Glad it's back on the road, sounds like Clifton have done an excellent job again!

[Rich]

Brilliant news. Life's too short not to have your MG on the road, as I discovered through winter last year when I thought I was saving money... And another positive note for Clifton Lane, and that's why they support us too!!!!

Great news Stu

CL are indeed very good. I'll tell you my sorry tale of the Trophy HGF over a cup of coffee or a beer at one of our meets and how CF sorted it.

[Stu]

Thanks CL have been good as ever,keeping me informed.

Great to get TF back and drove to leighton buzzard today and felt good although i am treating her gently this week

Will keep an eye on water,cylinder liners had to be sealed,so touch wood all ok now.

The cylinder liners were the cause of my problems too mate Although how you keep your eye on them I have no idea
