The underfloor pipes are a weak point on all of our cars, replace them if they show signs of leaks or corrosion. if yours appear to be in good condition, fine - but remember to check where they disappear under the strengthening plate.General Lee;10100 wrote: Please can you advise me if it is necessary to replace the underfloor pipes on all makes of MGTF. I have a stepspeed 2002 and want to know if it is worth replacing them with the stainless steel type.
Thanks

i have a stepspeed as well the bad news is nobody does a stainless steel version, the underpipes for the stepsteep has extra brackets on them for the gearbox oil cooler pipes, i got my pipes from rimmer brothers approx £40 del, but these were the normal ones.
I am not sure if you could use cable ties on the normal stainless steel pipes to hold the gearbox oil cooler pipes. Maybe someone with better knowledge could point you in the right direction. I just didnt want to risk it.

I believe that most HGF's are caused by people not bleeding their coolant system when renewing plus leaks dont help.

You said it Andrew!AndrewR;10179 wrote: My F was made in 1997 and still has the original pipes, yes I check them once a year. One of the main reasons they have lasted is we don't have the sand and salt put down every year, well unless you are up in the mountains we don't see any snow.

That salt is wicked stuff.
