It's a straight swap for the existing unit, so you have to remove the air filter
hosing, and exchange the TB off the side of the plenum chamber. You have to
watch the alignment on the plenum chamber though. Shouldn't take longer than a
couple of hours as long as the alignment's OK!! It's also good practice to reset
the throttle body once installed (ignition to position 2, then fully press
accelerator 5 times).
A new body-coloured hardtop is now
available on new and existing MGF
sports cars, MG announced today (31st October). The hardtop permits owners to
operate a two in one capability (coupe and roadster styles) and creates a new
exterior appearance with all year round protected motoring. The body-coloured
hardtop features electric rear window demist, headlining and an integral design
that can replace or be fitted over the existing soft top.
From October until 31 December 2001, the body-coloured hardtop will be available
to customers at an introductory retail price of £795, a customer saving of £500
(including VAT) from the normal price. The offer excludes the current black
hardtop and Heritage hardtop and is only available as a factory fitted option on
new vehicles.
The body coloured hardtop is available in a full range of bold and stylish
colours including Platinum Silver, Tahiti Blue, Anthracite, Solar Red, British
Racing Green, Sienna Gold, Copperleaf Red and Old English White.
MGF
continues to lead the way in the UK roadster market with sales in the first ten
months exceeding 6,000 units, which is already above the full year 2000 level.
Sales have recently been boosted by the introduction of the new 1.6i, Trophy 160
SE and the latest Freestyle SE derivatives, plus the extension of the MG dealer
franchise.
