Mine are in the original silver sparkle Len, with new inserts. I think its a slightly deeper colour than the original MG but adds a bit of lustre therefore.

Your car may or may not have a black plastic cover inside the boot protecting the rear light. That cover is held on with 2 or 3 nuts, remove those, pull off the black plastic cover and all the light connections will be shown, the little orange bulb can just be seen before cover removal.

Thanks for that, the head gasket has been changed just 2,500 miles ago, so hopefully thats ok.
I will as suggested check the coolant system has been bled.

I can reply to my own post.
It seems the car, a 2005 model, has a low coolant alarm fitted, I checked the base of the expansion tank and I have cables.
However, it doesn't come on now and the coolant is high, so I will assume it is a blip.

Morning all,
I had a light stay on briefly, second from top RH side of the display.
A strange looking picture, half way between a battery and maybe oil ? or coolant ?
It went off within minutes and didn't come on again during start up, but I would like to know what its trying to tell me if anyone knows please?
Thanks, Richard.

There is an MG TF owners sales facebook page that has cars for sale on a very regular basis.
Also, the MG owners club website has what may be termed slightly more upmarket models and the MG Car club website.
Then there are various dealers out there, Trophy Cars etc that all have websites.
The benefit of the latter is they replace the head gasket, water pump and cambelt as a matter of form, however with a good service history buying privately can be good value.
Lots of choice depending on your budget and as a newcomer to the marque I can say they are great reliable fun, when the generic and well publicised potential issues are sorted.

I wouldnt blow the cash on a new one until I had checked the volts on the old one.
I suppose my thoughts are, is it man enough to do all the things necessary on start up?

much obliged, I wonder why the manual says passenger side ?
Now I know why I couldnt find them.
Cheers

I would like to find the cigar lighter fuse which is I believe in the passenger side fuse box.
To save me scrabbling around, can somebody tell me where to find that particular fuse box please?
Thanks.

Here is a fundamental question
Is the battery new?
Are you getting full power to each plug ?

Thankyou,
I can adopt the if it aint broke dont fix it attitude here.
As long as it passes an MOT as it is, I am happy putting up with it.

Morning all,
should the wipers come on automatically when I use the water spray function ?
Or, is it a case of pulling down the stalk and pulling back at the same time?
Thanks
Richard.
