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.

Can anybody confirm that the FOC is only needed on post 2002 cars, Think i'll be getting a fuel filter and just thought i'd check about the FOC first.
Cheers

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.

Excellent, thank you. Unfortunately no VIN details, so it remains from late-2001 models.

Hate to say that I had a good chuckle at the thought

Mind you I would not have been laughing at the time!
