Hello everyone,
I own a silver MG TF That i got from a MG TF classified ads (http://www.for-sale.ie/mg-tf) site and i love it she handles really well and enough power to get from a-b, right i'm not much of a mechanic that's why i am here and hoping you can help. So the other day started as usual i got up in the morning had my coffee and a little bit of breakfast got freshened up, dressed and then off to work and everything was sweet. When leaving work the car started up no problems at all i drove a few of miles on the way home pull up at the traffic lights went to pull of and the MG cut out? after repeatedly trying to start her i gave up and got her over to the side of the road checking the MG to see if there was any obvious problems but seen nothing. Tried to restart the Engine and nothing apart from the starter motor going over and over killing off the battery. Then i had my car towed home by a friend and it is sat in the garage waiting for me to sort it out.
What could the problem be? i will take everything you can put my way, anything me or my friends can fix between us we will give it ago first if not to the garage, but anything is fixable right? or just about anyway... i'm just hoping my engine is fine, there was no bang or smoke, just a clean cut out and stopped running, that quick i din't see it coming literally just died. Don't get me wrong i felt a slight drop in performance but i thought that was due to getting acquired to the MG, i see i was wrong!
SPECS
Year 2003
Model: MG TF
Engine: 1.6L
Fuel: Petrol
Transmission: 5 speed manual
Mileage: 59,000
Any further information that might help you let me know and i will place it up!
Any information tips and tricks will be greatly appreciated
