How to Replace the Timing Belt on the MG TF

Model: MG MG Various
Part: Timing belt

Lift your vehicle on axle stands, then remove the left wheel to gain easier access to the area where you will be working. Now, unclip and open the bonnet to reach the relevant area. The belt is located right next to the engine, which is why removing the wheel was helpful, as it allows you to work more comfortably during both the extraction and installation of the new belt. Once the belt is fitted, perform a few tests by starting the engine, and for reassembly, simply follow the steps in reverse.
