MG MGF Technical - Refit Rover Air Filter

Well after 3 fun years the MGF has done it's 60k miles, and the lease is over.

Us 2 will become 3 in March, so I need a nice sensible 4 door family saloon instead. Fortunately I've just ordered a Subaru Impreza Turbo :^)

So I need to put back the Rover box and air filter.

Anyone ever done it, or got any tips?

Thanks,

Greg

"refitting is the reversal of removal" as the Haynes manual would say.

In fact it is almost this simple. Almost.

Make sure you have all the parts- including the fastners for the air box.

The only tricky part of the whole re-assembly process is putting that right angle knuckle tube back onto the reasonance box. It's a bugger to get back on. Perseverence is required here- plus some brut force- but it is possible. I hate that particular job- and if anyone else has a clever and easy way of doing it, I want to hear from you!

Greg,
do something useful for the next owner and a free breath of your F.
Check the fixture of the fabric air inlet hose far below at the rear panel.

Mine was poorly 'strangled' by a cable tie.

Good luck and following on what Rob said
- don't break your fingers -

Cheers
