servicing our rover 45 1.4 K series engine

[@DanLTjoe]

Brilliant video! Did you replace the fuel filter near the bulkhead? I just purchased my 3rd Rover 45 a couple of days ago, my last one was a Club saloon model I owned back in 2016 or so. The one I bought is a 1.6 petrol however the head gasket is fine but it is loosing coolant via the inlet manifold gasket and the plastic thermostat housing. I've since replaced the inlet manifold rubber gasket as the old one was broken in several places and it was bodged up with black sticky DIY sealent, it looked horrible. The plastic thermostat housing one of the sections had cracked and snapped off inside the coolant hose so this was very obvious leak area, replacing it today hopefully, put the inlet manifold back on, renew coolant and bleed system. Hopefully I should not only have hot heaters again but no coolant loss once the car has cooled down! Loving your video's and your passion for 45's! I'm a big MGR fan and currently own my latest 45, a 89 Maestro and a 75 Allegro. Always loved the 45 model since my elderly father had one back in 2008.

thanks loosing coolant via the manifold gasket is the problem our 1.6 had when we got it

I used that oil in my van and it is rubbish!! Made the engine louder never again I use castrol Magnatec 5w30 so much quieter.
