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.
