Thanks to Jonathon Stokes, Paul Tuckley, Cliff Mugnier, Sheila Quan & Richard Glass for responding to my query, with the main suggestion being to use the Universal Translator, Doh!!, now I feel a bit stupid! Anyway, that worked great, so thanks to all for saving me a lot of time until I found out what Universal Translator is actually for.

MapInfo only seems to allow the importing of autocad.dxf files, so I converted the file to MI.tab file using Geographic Explorer Quick Translator. The resulting file comes in with Non-Earth Meters projection. Upon converting it to BNG projection when saving a new copy, the copy still loads in the same place (miles away from where I want it) with an example being x=1051925.36 y=-5112608.9 as compared to x=429362.55 and y=414762.18, as required. I have tried to update the x & y centroids without success. Does anyone have any suggestions??
