Mine failed a few weeks after I bought it. Dealer (MG specialist) changed the filter as well (under warranty) and replaced it the wrong way round so that when I filled up it poured petrol all over the forecourt. The new filter was also faulty and failed a further twice before they found the fault (a damaged o-ring). On both occasion they replaced it the wrong way round, more petrol!!!
Please don't ask! |

Hmm, might be worth a look sooner rather than later, if not just to check/replace the filter element. The car seems a bit hesitant on acceleration and the idle hunts sometimes.

That's the change-over date, 2001-2002. A late 2001 model may have the problem filter, an early 2002 may have the old filter. Any car in that change-over period would have to be physically checked. There are no VIN bands that I can determine. Rover issued a bullitin (Service Action A198/TBX0501) if anyone can find it.
Petrol filters are not a service item and need no attention throughout the car's life. They go black within a few thousand miles, but that doesn't signify anything other than it's doing its job. Filter kits are now around £61 a throw and a waste of money in most situations. Serious tank contamination would warrant replacement. EDIT: Further searching has pulled out this thread which discusses VIN numbers and filter types, but without an definitive answer.
