MG TF160 - Sambomonkee

[Sambomonkee]

This is my new MG

Its an MGTF 160, 52 plate 51k miles, x-power grey, pretty much as new, Leather and Alcantara interior with tan decor (bit like Colins I think). Has grey soft top, although I thought it was meant to be black as it was a bit dirty

I believe the overheating is a badly bleed rad, as the oil and water was clear, and the owner said it had started to go wrong since he had a pipe that leaked replaced, so I doubt the garage bleed to system properly, probably didn't realise there where 3 bleed nipples.

And the best bit of all, all of that came at the price of £950

So what my other thread for goodies off the old F.

[cejsmith]

cool

So you coming 2moro for the remap???????

[Sambomonkee]

I would love too, but you about a month too early for me, plus its getting transported to me tomorrow. So no good, but I need a new exhaust for it so keep you ear to the ground, I am leaning towards a TT.

[Rich]

Excellent... What a bargain!

BTW Moved the thread to the gallery as there were so many pictures...

[Tony]

Nice, and a complete bargain if the problems are as easy to fix as you hope.

Cracking car, best colour ......dont go TT......BIG mistake

[Sambomonkee]

Well i did put an offer in the new tt7, and got a counter offer that I am considering, what is your suggestion then?

[cejsmith]

Have to say the new tt looks nice, but until I hear one I dont think i could buy on.

What about a Scorpion??

Go and listen to as many as you can, noone can tell you what the best one is as only you will know when you hear it.

[Lee121]

Daytona or Milltek.......esp good news as Brown and Gammons have the quad finishers for the Milltek, Quads for Daytona's seem to be O/S due to quality issues

[StevePem]

You can listen to my TT mk4 sometime if you want. Are you going to Donnington on 16th?

[cejsmith]

lee why not just use the Miltek you have?

[Sambomonkee]

How? its got 180 bend where as the TF has 90 degree, I cannot just change the cat to a MK1 as well, as there is a lamda sensor after the cat in the TF. Unless I am missing something here

[cejsmith]

you can just replace the cats and it will work, you just need to get if the mem3 remapped or I think you can just do elimiminate the sensor. The sensor after the cat doesn't realy do much i've been told, that why the early trophies didn't have it.

[Sambomonkee]

Colin can you confirm this, as I have the exhaust on ebay right know, and if don't need to sell it I wont, will not the extra lamba sensor just hang there and wont it cause a warning light to come on?

Off Topic, today I have sold 640 pounds worth of stuff off the old F, that's more than its probably worth as a whole. Its a lot of effort breaking the car, selling etc, but the financial gains are worth it.

[cejsmith]

if you look on my old thread called exhaust fitment I'm sure Matt confirms this , but have a look yourself.

[Sambomonkee]

The guru himself does indeed confirm it, the ECU just works it out, right the Miltek is no longer for sale.

Please put a cat on it though, other wise your have the army raiding you for having a WMD!!!!

[Sambomonkee]

Yeah was a bit loud wasn't it, and for no gain really. The decat has someone after it, so I will just stick the standard cat on the TF.

[Sambomonkee]

[cejsmith]

looks great, but you do realise your have to wear a baseball cap the wrong way around now and say everthing is wicked!!!!!

[Sambomonkee]

Init!!!!

[Captain Slow]

To be fair-that does look very good I'm not usually a fan of vinyled up cars but I like that.

[Lee121]

Superb Lee.....but the interior has to change now.......red and green should never be seen......

[Sambomonkee]

Stupid thing was, I had Gray alcantara in there before and then sold and put this in.

How about getting the red bits re-upholstered in green? Obviously when my bank balance has recovered
