Lol , another great honest video where things just don't go to plan , and bloody embarrassing that the wife comes up with a solution ( I hate that when it happens to me )
Excellent video again, thank you. Apart from changing the fuel filter, which can be a pain to get new ones to stop leaking, I haven’t played much with the fuel system on my TFs. So, thanks again and good luck with the rest of the build, great video.
Nice video, fraught with innuendo! Getting a great insight into how it all works under there, hopefully I’ll be able to do some of this work myself now!
Similarly my TF sucked air when releasing the filler cap, also petrol smell all the time. Changed the charcoal cannister, all sorted, great video, thanks.
If you have to work on something from the boot area again, get in the boot...sit in the boot. I am stunned at the condition of the pipes. In Australia we do not have salt on our roads except perhaps at our ski resorts but that is less than 1% of our roads.
Great vid. Feel for you, simple job turns out to be anything but. But now you've done it. Well done you ! I really liked your video edit at 14:00. That was really slick editing and created a 'chapter end' and beginning on the next segment. First class presentation.
Lee while you are doing the coolant I would replace or refurb those metal coolant pipes as they look very crusty because if you get a leak from these your going to be doing another HG very soon.
Cheers for another informative video...fingers crossed my cars fuel lines don't need changing......Also I've taken my cars front bumper off and can say you should find a a breeze compared to this job. 👍
the easiest way to remove the snapped plastic in the hose is to warm a bolt that is a little bigger than the bore. whilst the bolt is hot, screw it in to the plastic broken section and let it cool. Now you have something to grip and twist to loosen the broken segment till it comes out.
Love the channel Lee, I'm in the process of looking for an MG TF for my first project car at the moment. Any tips on what to look out for on cheaper MG TF's? Things like head gasket replacement?
Honestly I wouldn't let any of it put you off however, I found lots of info around for the head gasket and is a methodical process, if I was to look for another I would be focusing on rust!
Those fuel lines looked terrifying - I'm definitely checking mine at the weekend!

“It should be a simple job” - Famous last words!! LOL
Its fast becoming a "how hard can it be" kinda phrase!! Lol

interesting and informative, i am not looking forward to having to tackle these jobs, but the insight given is appreciated
Much appreciated 😄👍
Thanks Lee, I'm enjoying your videos. Contemplating the front subframe drop myself over next winter so will continue to watch with interest!

Good advice, thanks Peter. I too am staggered by the amount of corrosion on this car!!

Another great video. Awesome work!
Cheers Atherton 👍
awesome! I'll take in count that for the near future in my MG!

Thanks for the video. I've got a set of pipes on order but mine is a TF so slightly different but this guide is very helpful.
Very well done. Cheers
Filming was fine.
Thanks Robyn 😊

It might be worth considering switching the coolant system to a PRT system if it doesn’t already have it.
Daniel Orabona it’s a 2005 car so will already have it.
Currently doing mine, been 4 hours and just removed everything 🤣
