Recommended Posts

I think we blew our head gasket today. Heater stopped working, temp up (but not to the top?) then water/oil mix blown back through the air filter! ooops So - on a 1.6K-series Supersport

1)how much to replace approx. by a professional

2)can I do it (have changed a gasket on old BMW 323i so know the basics/torque wrench etc. Haynes manual for a Rover do the job?

3) anyone know anywhere who can do it in Northants area?

 

any advice/tips very gratefully recieved!

There is nothing particularly difficult in replacing the head gasket. The Haynes manual 3399 for the Rover 211,214, 216,218 &220 gives a good desciption. You may need the head refacing mind that will cost about 20 quid and the head gasket is about 25 quid from any Rover dealer. To get a Rover dealer to do the job expect a bill for around the 180 quid mark.
