Hi toastie, the internal filter you've got there is an Interpet PF2 which is rated for 45-90L aquariums I believe, it's ideal for around 60L but wouldn't be strong enough for your 140L.  I'd recommend an external filter, my personal preference would be an Eheim Classic 2215.

nice one , thanks for the info ,. il have a look at you choice now  
 
cheers d 

another question , are external pumps noisier ?

My Eheim 2213 is impressively quiet but then it is new.
I also have an Interpet PF2 which was quiet to begin with but I suspect all filters get noisier with age!
