The only thing is that there doesn't really seem to be much support underneath for what is a very heavy system. Couldn't see anything between the front of the car and the backbox, and couldn't see any fixing points that weren't in use. Is this just another case of Rover cutting costs (mine is a facelift) or is something missing?
I think the only support points are in the middle and at the rear of the car but they do hold the system up without any problems.
