Perhaps this isn't the place to put this but as the engine is used in the 75 also, i'm betting it's a very common problem for 75 / ZT owners too!?... is there a definitive and permanent fix for the K series HGF?
I'm asking this because I have for a long time been wanting an MGF but have heard and seen quite a few horror stories and although reading and researching so many theories on the subject I now feel overwhelmed by the amount of conflicting evidence for the cure / fix.
I really don't want to be messing around with trying to fix something that ultimately can't be cured.
Is the HGF something that can be sorted permanently or will I have to live in fear of the inevitable?
Any qualified opinions and first hand experience of this problem would be a big help in deciding whether to go ahead and buy one or not, I don't mind buying one and then having to sort it at some point as long as whatever has to be done to it is a permanent fix.
