my rover 45 keeps loseing all water i had head gasgit done 8months ago ??????????

Answer 1

Lex, your are a total dick who knows nothing.

To the post writer, it is possible for a head gasket ON ANY CAR to fail so soon after replacement if they used a pattern part, didn't replace the head bolts, didn't torque the head down properly or bleed the system properly after.
Run the engine up to temp and see if there are any leaks by looking under the car for any tell tale signs.
If you find no obvious sign of leakage, take it to a different garage to the one that did the job and ask them to pressure test the car to find if the head gasket has gone again.

I've currently got a Ford (Fix Or Repair Daily) in that had the head gasket done and it lasted the poor owner one day.
The 'mechanic' that did the job didn't replace the head bolts, torque it down properly or have the head checked for warpage and cracks. Still charged over £400 for the job though.

Rovers are good cars, both the K series and the KV6 fitted to these have modified head gaskets available now so it is worth sticking with and having it repaired by someone reputable.
My last Rover did 115k trouble free miles and the new owners are chuffed with her.

Answer 2

I hate to tell you this but if the head gasket was not fitted correctly, then this could be your problem. Putting gasket seal in is not a good idea, you need to find the problem and fix it.
Do you see any water on the ground after a drive. Also check to see if there is any water in the foot wells inside the car, if there is it could be the heater matrix. Best thing to do is get a torch and get under the bonnet and have a really good look at the hoses and seals.

The best way to get back your ex is https://tr.im/Jroom

Here's the hard part: Pretend she never existed, like it was all a dream, don't call her, that will make you the smaller person, be the bigger person since you deserve better, what she did to you on Valentines Day was immature, especially after dating for four years. This person wasted allot of your time and through it out the window. Go out tonight, even it it is only yourself, don't drink and call or feel sorry for yourself, this will only cause you embarrassment! I know your hurting..This will eventually will go away in time. Today is not a good day for you and your emotions are spinning all over the place.

Please, whatever you do, don't answer her calls and don't call her. If she keeps calling, which she pro bally won't, don't return her call for 5 days. Make her sweat and DO Not get back together right away if you discuss this in 5 days. Tell her since she Broke up with you, you have done allot of thinking, and had the taste of "being single again" and you would like more time being "friends" for now, so you are sure you are making the right decision. Remember "She decided she didn't want to be with you" so the door is open for you to get out and see what you have been missing for four years. You honestly need to do this for yourself.

She doesn't know, but what she did was give you the best valentines day present you will ever get! A new start and a new beginning, use it to your advantage. You will look back on this and Thank God this happened now instead of 4 more wasted years of YOUR life. Today does suck, stay Strong and I promise you your life is going to be so much more exciting and you are going to be happy. If you continue to call and call her, she will think of you as needy and won't want you. She is going to rethink what she did to you today and will be hurt, if you act like you could care less. Girls always want the ones they can't have. That is who you are now to her. Let her suffer,realizing what a mistake she made. This will drive her crazy. Right now she is on cloud 9 thinking you will take her back, OH, is she stupid!

Your life isn't ruined, hers is..She lost someone special, and gave you a gift to let to live life and find someone you deserve. You are not getting back at her, your teaching her what an idiot she is and what she lost and what you gained without her. SO when You eventually talk to her, tell her thank you for what she did...
She will be hurt and you will be happy!

Answer 4

sorry cosmo a new gasket wont cure the problem on its own
take the head off again get it skimmed by some reputable machine shop
the check to see if the block needs same work the slightest warp in either
part spells trouble also make sure the head is torqued down evenly all round
remember your dealing with alloy not steel use correct sequence for head
bolts and use genuine gasket check between 3&4 cylinder on the block
for hair line cracks cheersAlan

Answer 5

Check that they used the latest head gasket which is highly modified compared to the original. Also they needed to fit the stronger oil gallery in the sump.
These bit come from Range Rovers.
Original HGF on Rovers tends to take about 40,000 miles to develop.
The new gaskets haven't been out long enough to know if the problem is really cured.

Answer 6

Check that the water pump isn't leaking and check the cores on the side of the engine block. Either of these could be leaking. Or you could put a sheet of cardboard uunder the engine and warm it up to tempreture and this might show where on the engine the water leak is coming from. Don't forget to check the water in the radiator to see if there is oil mixed with it. This is a sure sign that the engine head gasket is leaking.

Answer 7

Well, it could be that you have a cracked head. It may also be that the head was not torqued properly when put on 8 months ago. Is it leaking water? Could be a leaking water pump or bad heater hose...maybe even a bad heater core. Before pulling the engine apart, check for leaks. Good luck, I could help more if I had more info from you. Hope this helps.

Answer 8

Sorry mate but any car built in the midlands means trouble!! These things are slapped together in the cheapest way possible for maximum profit for the drooling pigs at the top of the ladder!! Remember the heatwave apx 4 yrs ago? We were stuck in heavy traffic on the m5, all cars on the hard shoulder overheating were Rovers, their only designed to go down the shops!!! Take my advice sell it when fixed and go to japanese if you can afford? if not go to Ford. P.S 8 months ago you changed the gasket!! your lucky it's lasted that long!!!!!!

Answer 9

Head gasket probably wasn't done properly last time. These cars are prone to head-gasket failure anyway.

When the job was done last time, was the head skimmed to clear any warp in the head? Was the block checked for warpage? The K-series engine is a 'long-bolt' design, and has proved to be very difficult to keep coolant-tight in the larger engine variants.

Answer 10

you didnt say what engine it has but my 1400 one went through 3 head gaskets in 2 year as head is alloy they have a tendencie to warp [twist] if not fitted properly or they engine is overheated also the gasket was only thin metal one with fine silcon beads to seal of ports and oilways etc as the water system is under extreme pressure then they are easily blown
