Oh No

I think I may have written off my cabby tonight as I have inadvertantly run into the back of an Audi A4, fortunately everyone is alright but the front of the old girl is a mess. Can't see the insurance fixing it. Absolutely gutted.

Re: Side Window Covers

Funnily enough as I was driving out of work today I saw a MG ZR with the back side windows cover in what looked like a black plastic moulding. Made it look like some sort of van to be honest.

Re: Failed on emissions

Thanks ETV, as the car was tested when I wasn't there I can't say if the lambda values were switching and also I haven't a clue where the lambda sensor heater relay is or how to check it :blushing

Failed on emissions

As in the title, 216 cabby with the k series engine. Any thoughts, these are the fail points, bloke in the garage reckons it's the cat but obviously don't want it changed if that isn't the cause.

Re: Dilemma

Mate I work with has got a MGTF and to be fair I like it. Suspensions a bit hard and every now and then something falls off or breaks but it runs very well. He had an MX5 before and honestly said that that was a better car all round but doesn't regret getting the MG. Even though MX5's are really goo...

Re: Outer drivers door handle replacement

Good write up but when I changed both on my cabby I didn't have to take the glass out, biggest pain was actually getting the old handles out and the new handles in. Took about an hour all told in the snow.
Have now got silver handles on purple doors :scared

Door Handles

Bit of a dilemma here and a dose of hard luck. About 2 weeks ago the drivers outside door handle on my cabby went a bit stiff then really loose almost immediately and wouldn't open the door. Not worry I thought I'll go in through the passenger side and in my own time take the door card off and have ...
