First of all: fuses are fitted for safety reasons, if they blow, there's a reason for it. If there wasn't such a weak fuse, something else could start burning.

Two fuse boxes can be found in the F, a first one in the interior, under the steering wheel. The other box is placed near the battery, under the front bonnet. The interior one can be opened with a coin and contains a small tool for easily replacing fuses.

The other fuse box has two types of fuses. MG Rover advises to have certified people taking care of the second type of fuses.
Fuse for EPAS (Electric Powered Assisted Steering)
Under the front bonnet you will find a fuse next to the black box with fuses. The fuse holder says "max. 70A". The plastic cover can easily be removed by sliding it away. By default, an orange 40A fuse is fitted.
