Beavis Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 For less money than a secondhand Nismo exhaust!! In great condition and still drives like new, but i know the k-series has a bad reputation for blowing head gaskets! But ideal for work and the winter A to B driving Got it off a friend of mine who's dad can no longer drive. S reg and only done 29k!! Beavis the Rover driver!! Quote
Zugara Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 NIce! All you need now is a flat cap, wippet, fluffy slippers and a pipe! Looks nice and tidy tho... Quote
Smudge Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 woooooow!!!! I bet that does zero to sixty in like a LIFE TIME! I know i'm pretty slow but what happened to the zed? Quote

rtbiscuit Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 k-series engines are good and some of them are the most tunable NA engines around. as for the head gaskets they can go, but your looking at alot more mileage before your at risk. just keep an eye on the coolant bottle if it starts to go milky its on its way out. if it goes it will be replacement gaskets and a head skim for around 550 quid Quote

Just got off the phone to Tim (Lomoto) That'll go over most members heads I fear! I have a K series in the freelander and it's ok. No HG issues on mine...... wheres that wood to touch. Quote

stanski Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Very nice Beavis looks mint! Funny Rover finally managed to make real wood Look like Formica! Quote
Beavis Posted July 18, 2010 Author Posted July 18, 2010 Very nice Beavis looks mint! Thats the thing Stan it is and for very little money. How could i lose? Quote
stanski Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Very nice Beavis looks mint! Thats the thing Stan it is and for very little money. How could i lose? Exactly it's surprising how many cheap cars there are out there 1owner fsh but unloved and unwanted? I al almost certain the 300c will be going up for sale and keep looking autotrader for a cheap replacement and there are loads of options? So far it's down to a Mazda6 or MR2 Roadster again ... But just looked at a Rover 75 not to everyones taste but a good car for a bag of peanuts just a shame about some of the styling Quote

I thought it was pretty decent! Quote

350zStephen Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Nice run around Beavis. Rovers are cheap as chips to run, and it is not expensive to replace a head gasket on one of these. Quote
evilscorp Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 didnt they make some with honda engines? If so a b16 rover cant be all that bad Quote
Stew Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 didnt they make some with honda engines? If so a b16 rover cant be all that bad That was the previous shape I'm sure. They were the same body (near enough) as a Honda Concerto. Yes, I really am that sad. Quote
