MG MGF Technical - prt thermostat - fitting of :stories please!

Hello everyone,

Am new to MGF ownership and after looking at the forums have decided to buy a thermostat and housing that fits on the outlet side of the engine - as soon as QED can make them!
Has anyone bought and fitted one to a MGF vvc model already? If so, was it a hard job? Any tips appreciated!
KS Gould

Me too!

I would buy one from Rover rather than QED, the rover one is designed to have a high volume bypass

Tried rimmer bros this afternoon but they said that they couldn't sell me a part that wasn't specifically for my car. How do I get one from Rover, what is the issue with volume bypass?

Full Throttle Racing were advertising a full PRT kit with all the fittings and instructions for £152.75 inc VAT

I just bought the OEM prt stuff from my dealer at 100 EUROS. I noticed the stat wasn´t in my parts box. Will check if -based on partn° - it had to be otherwise 100 EURO would be the price for OEM prt items,
cheers,

is the best place to source these a dealership then?

Dieter,

My Rover dealer had a Landrover conversion set in stock, but we looked together at the EPC mgtf parts and realised some other parts changed too. That´s why we decided to go for the stock TF replacement parts and not the landlover set, atlhough he gave me a fair chance to buy it, I declined. So it´s me who´s the stubborn guy, not the dealer. Kinda what my wife says *LOL*

cheers,
david

Have a look at Carlo's site - it has some very useful information that relates to the Elise, but could be applied to the F and early TF: http://web.tiscali.it/elise_s1/fitting.htm
