MG MGF Technical - PRT where do I get one?
Ok guys I called Trident spares and they didnt know what a PRT is! SO where do I get one. Is it a true OEM item or it is more snake oil? |

It is a true OEM item. You should be able to get the parts from an X-Part or Land Rover dealer. Eliseparts also do a PRT kit for the Elise, but I dont know if this would fit an F too? Have a look on the EPC on Deiter's site ( http://www.mgfcar.de/index.htm )for the part numbers. Its under Cooling>Cooling pipes & hoses>PRT. |

Hi guy's & girls, I have just bought a late 2004 TF 135 (12000 mls).I'm not new to Mg's but I am to MGF/TF's.I know there have been HGF problems ,(I had'nt realised how many untill I read the archives !).Head banging stuff, no pun intended ! Showing my ignorance , what's a PRT , and do I need one,or have the later TF's been sorted ? What, if any, modifications have been made to the later TF's. One last thing - is the B&G coolant level sensor worth fitting & is it relatively easy to fit & would it effect any waranty ? Sorry about so many questions but would appreciate it if anyone has the answers. Regards Ken |

Hi Ken, Firstly, welcome aboard! Regarding the PRT, hopefully this will help with some of your questions: http://www.mgf.ultimatemg.com/group2/common_problems/hgf_pages/cooling_system_modifications.htm As your TF is an '04 model, there is a chance it already has one. Check your car's VIN - the PRT was fitted from 4D622951 ... |

Hi Rob, Thanks for your info,very helpful ! Would you consider a B&G coolant level sensor appropriate also? Have'nt picked the car up yet but will check the VIN when I do. Regards Ken |

Sorry if I seem a bit thick but I have been looking at Rob Bell's website - (very impressive by the way)and I have only just realised that there seem to be 2 types of thermostat I could buy for my MGF. I was all set to order the PRT from Full Throttle Racing but is this the same as the one from QED motorsport? (Remote thermostat) I don't think so. My MGF lives in London, and I would like to drive fast on the open road all the time but the day to day use of the car is in traffic. I would just like confirmation of which one I should get. |
