MG TF2003 · 1.8L Petrol

Like the ZR, the TF uses the K-Series engine. The mid-engine layout makes cooling even more critical.

The front and rear subframes, sills, and rear wheel arches are highly prone to rust. Pre-2007 Chinese-built cars are generally better protected, but all TFs need careful inspection underneath.

Electric windows and central locking can play up. The roof wiring loom for heated rear screens often frays and breaks over time due to repeated folding.
