    I got the wheel centres from here:

    A chap called Ron (affectionately known as Rover Ron) has developed a tuning box of tricks for various diesel engines, including the BMW one used in the MG/Rovers....my 116 was sorely in need of a boost...and this does the trick wonderfully!...But not quite a 260....

    Thanks Peter...
    The 'upgrade' is just referring just to the sat nav (sorry my bad grammar)...I replaced the unit with a BMW MkIII (plug for plug replacement), just gives a few extra goodies over the restricted MG version.

    You can use the first 4 or 5 digits of the postcode to search on the BMW unit - nearly....but no cigar...

    In the Rover I've bought - I use a TomTom ONE XL - find it a terrific piece of kit.
