·www.bestofbritishrover.com £39.99 for a complete Klinger head gasket set.
I've just fitted it to my Vitesse turbo but it is suitable for any T/M series.
Tip - use new head bolts. Even though they are supposed to be reuseable, I had one snap on me (probably overtorqued by a previous oil leak fix attempt). New bolts cost under £30 for a set (ring round the local motor factors from the Yellow Pages).

The Klinger is a standard Rover part.
The non klinger one (non metal one) they list for a 220 normally leak again within 1000 miles !!snellgrc said:whats wrong with the standard rover part?

·200 miles on from fitting the Klinger and it seems to be doing the job nicely.
I must admit that I was sceptical of the multi layered steel gasket doing the job but it works.
The head and block face were in nice condition - according to MGR you should not use a Klinger if in doubt.
