- And another non electrical option, this is a quote from Andy
'Scarlet Fever' Phillips - "If you only want it as an emergency
access type thing, you could pop down to Halfrauds, buy a pushbike
rear brake cable for sick squid and install a manual boot release.
Hide the end of the cable somewhere only you know about and bingo
you never need worry about your keys and the boot again - works
for me!"

...fit a bonnet
light
part of the cost cutting exercise that MG made on the TF was to delete
the light from under the bonnet. Retro fitting one is a fairly easy
task and certainly DIY-able.
- First of all, get yourself a light, it is exactly the same as
the boot light, so a breakers yard would be a good start. I fitted
mine by using the earth plunger switch at the back left of the bonnet.
This is used for the alarm system, but also doubles as a light switch.
I took a live from the under bonnet fuse box with an in line fuse,
and the earth from the plunger switch, running it behind the plastic
cowl at the rear of the bonnet, I fitted a piggy back connector
to take both the alarm and light earth connectors. There is already
a cut out in the bonnet for a light and I fed both wires up to this.
I used the appropriate crimped end connectors and tided the
wiring up by wrapping it with black insulating tape.

800 stalks

put together these great

regard to the intermittent wipe, the clever sparky bods are trying
to come up with a solution. Still worth fitting the stalks though.

...increase
the range of the remote handset (blipper / fob / zapper)
- the easy way is to hold the remote under your chin then press
the lock/unlock button.
- the less easy way is to follow
these instructions from the MGF FAQ web site. It involves finding
and straightening out the yellow receiver wire.
- another possibility is to re-synchronise the handset. Have a
look near the bottom of this page.
