- Which
wind stop is the best?
- Rob Bell did the
infamous 'blue wig' test for wind stops on his web site here.
A little out of date, but I'd say that Mike
Satur's newer Boxer screens and
the MGF Centre's
glass screen would give similar results to the MS plexi screen in the
test.
- My
hood locks up when I pull it back.
- I've
locked my keys in the boot, what do I do?
- there is only one
method that can be discussed openly, this is known as the Treffen
method, so called because someone locked their keys in the boot whilst
on a trip to Germany with some fellow MG'ers. The method was developed
by Andy 'Scarlet Fever' Phillips and others. Andy posted on
MG-Rover.org explaining this method, read it here.
You may want to get a spare key cut to keep in your wallet for the next
time. Alternatively, you may want to consider fitting a remote boot
release.

else in an MG F/TF keeps flashing their lights and waving at me. What
should I do?
- wave back, its an
MG thing, you could even instigate the wave, be prepared for an odd
look or two.
- I
have seen these 25BHP chips on Ebay, do they work?
- NO they do not
work, its a scam, and they could potentially damage your engine. They
make they engine think its getting colder air than it actually is
getting, not good.
