One word

Headgasket

[Chance]

Oh yeah ive read all the stuff

Ive come to the conclusion that with an MLS, that most have now I presume, they will be fine

My sisters mgf gasket had been done just before we bought it, 1.8 k series.
That overheated when she had it due to lack of coolant ( had a small leak and was quite neglected) but the replaced headgasket never went and it overheated more than once lol

I'd only buy one if I could change the HG myself, would get expensive otherwise.

My local scrappy is full of K series rovers, no prizes for guessing why they are there as there wasn't a diesel one in sight!

[Chance]

I know a chap who used to buy ones with blown gaskets and sell them after hed changed them
Any pointers I'd get off him :)

I like them but I dont know why!!!
My current mg rover love is the 200 BRM, that will have to wait though, insurance wise

Wouldn't mind one of those to use daily, wiser choice than a zr

MK2 = expensive insurance. They're in a high group for some reason, even the boring drivers. I pay twice as much as I did with a mini

I am on the lookout for another zr or r25 though, seeing as i do have a brand new full roll cage sitting in my garage
