Not a great day for MGF yesterday...

You're in good hands!

Well Russell's been out, seemes the inlet manifold gasket was leaking, totally trasformed the car. feels much much better under part throttle, and pulls nicely through the rev range now where as before it had some really bad flat spots, i guess the leaky inlet was causing all sorts of issues!

Again big thanks to Russell for coming out so fast and getting it sorted.

The guy's a legend!
I had problems with the plastic inlet manifold; replaced it with a nice alloy one off a TF135.
I saw that the plastic manifold had warped when I put it on a flat surface.

Glad that Russell got out to you and sorted out the problem .. That guy really is a star

Have you still got to get all your other mods fitted now??

Yep, still need the emerald fitting, but first job is CVT fluid change as the replacement sump plug only turned up yesterday after russell was meant to have it wednesday!

just need to fit the emerald and get it mapped now and the car then just needs some harnesses, roll hoop and wind break, and a few cosmetic bits...

Then its done, and i can focus on the Lotus V8 Project! Mrs Oz cant wait for her car to be finished.
