I BOUGHT IT AS THE USUAL HEAD GASKET FAILURE WITH MIXED OIL AND WATER. I REPLACED THE GASKET BUT DID NOT GET THE HEAD SKIMMED AND THE VALVES WEREN'T SEATING PROPERLY SO IT CAME OFF AGAIN AND I FOUND A READY SKIMMED HEAD AND FITTED THAT INSTEAD. WHILE TRYING WITH NO LUCK TO BLEED THE COOLING SYSTEM THE WATER PUMP STARTED TO POUR OUT WATER AND AT THAT POINT I GAVE UP. IT IS NOW SITTING BEHIND THE HOUSE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO FINISH THE JOB.BY THE WAY I ALSO FITTED NEW BOLTS .

Fuggin wars what a nightmare, I almost want to take that on as a challenge!

Some people have a real downer about Rovers. -10 and overheating? Sounds like the coolant might been past its best, frozen up and clogged up the system, not exactly a design flaw.

Indeed. Sure, K series lumps eat gaskets more often than I eat Walkers crisps but T series lumps are pretty good.I do wonder sometimes how many people blame the engine for the HGF when infact the coolant hadn't been changed in around a decade.

Exactly. I've had a lot of K Series engined cars and have never had HGF. Because I look after them. Changing the coolant isn't rocket science, and the proper OAT stuff isn't dear either.

My friend paid £800 for a 1992 Rover 414SLi in the late 1990s. It's approaching 400k now and it still hasn't had a head gasket fail.

SHITTING NORA that CARINA is literally the cock AND balls!

 

I have never seen one with that 'face' before, it is mega-fugly like they hashed it together out of bits of telly fascias.

Is this even the same model?

That thing is about 2-3 miles from me, tops.If he's the chap who's got the K reg 1.8 in dark blue as well, he's a mega-dodgy driver who's still not got the hang of Marinas not having brakes.Not seen that one around.

Here's a stupendously TOSS way to advertise your vehicle:

GR2 work! Pic of a model, pretty much zero useful information regarding the car itself, apart from spurious claims to it's "finished" value.

 

Summary: MONG

MOAR useless marketing:

If a pink Micra can get bid up to twice what I paid for mine then I see a trip to B&Q coming up in the near future.

I don't know why women need to announce their XX chromosome by owning loads of pink stuff.

Piazza Automatic, so no LSD, so it is relatively safe. Nice one!

That's nice! Should go pretty cheap without the key. Wonder how much it'd cost to just go to VW and ask for another? I would have thought they'd still do them.
