Morning all, my old dear's just gone and bought an MGF on a 2001 X plate, 22000 miles on the clock, full service history, she picks it up this weekend.

Now a few people have put the frighteners up her by sucking air between their teeth and saying "eww, rover k series engine, it's gonna have a HGF". now as far as I'm aware the k series engine is in quite a few rovers (25s, 45s) the only difference in the mgf is that it's mid mounted, surely not every rover's going to blow up?

Basically, should she be concerned? are these people ill informed, it really is a nice little car, but now she's having second thoughts.
 
Update:

Well no matter what anyone says now, she's totally been put off, which is a shame, and has since bought a 52 plate Astra coupe 1.8 instead. Boring!

Oh well, I quite fancied borrowing the MG too, an Astra I'm not so fussed about.
