- 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.

the clever sparky bods are trying to come up with a solution. Still worth

...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.
