rovertech is a good forum too for rover/mg advice, I wouldn't buy one though after the rover group going bust, no one wants to work on them, and its a struggle to get parts.

a tuned one with a filter/exhaust system beat me, i was impressed with the power of it, if i could rev to 7000rpm like the mg then i might of been a different matter

i'd hardly call sticking a back box and a "filter" on a 1.4 tuning.
the 1.4s are good lumps with 105bhp...well good until coolant starts mixing with oil anyway
