head gasket was done at 45,000 miles ..youve just just jinxed it head gasket very shortly
Gearboxes are not the best. Rover used them in lots of cars anorl. The 220 Turbo sitting on my drive has a PG1 I believe and that was Rover's best effort at a super-car.Mine had 179,987 when i sold it..
Bought with 179,789 paid £150 for it!!
Having had the gasket done at 45 it will be due another one soon!
I liked mine, couldn't stand the gearbox though, geared all wrong, and it felt like stirring a spatula in a bowl of rocks..
horrible!!

Yeh, nah - not really my sort of thing. It needs a fuel pump and is pretty tatty, although straight, and the engine seems strong.Tomcat
Nice........
I knew of a 1.6 K Rover 45 with 250K miles on it.hi guys .. new to this forum and i am obsessed with my freelander 1 Always wanted to know this .. whats the highest mileage you guys have reached on a k series engine?
The K series isn't unreliable at all, HG issues excepted.I've heard they are unreliable but mine has gone past 180, 000 miles and still going strong ...
