do this

 

I am e-mailing Russell to see what he suggest. I don't want to see the car go to scrap if |I can fix it for under £500.

 

Is it definitely leaking from the head, if so where abouts, it may just be the exhaust manifold gasket, which is a cheapish fix. There are some good mobile mechanics on this forum,..see who is nearest to you.

All good mechanics who will sort you out for a lot less than 1k,...all on the forum, and very helpfull.

Best of luck

 

Thanks. You have gave me hope for a revival. Waiting for them to contact me now.

 

Its because its green...

Nah, 1k to get it fixed is ridiculous, especially as worst case scenario purchasing a new head would cost about £120, mobile mechanic is the way forward. Hope its nothing too serious.

Do you have any other description of symptoms?

 

Someone Help????

Wondering if someone on here could help me out a bit, i recently bought a 2000 Rover 25 1.4 which has recently had the head gasket replaced, it has now decided to stop blowing hot air and judder and cut out. The temperature gauge needle also stays very low until the car has been running for a while only then will it work its way to the half way point does anyone have a clue what this could possibly be??

Sounds like you have an air lock, or on the 25's they have problems with the heater pipe work, not hard to sort out

The juddering and cutting out maybe something totally different or part of it if you are loosing coolant

 

Mindy thank you for your advice. Jon Norris came today, and changed the head gasket. He was very good and meticulous @ everything he did. Charged me what he quoted. Top person. Got my beast back. I am so happy.
