Rover 214si

Here we have it, my belated project thread for the car that replaced the 318TDS

I have a 1993 Rover 214si, that doesnt work

Bought it a couple of months ago and did did a couple of thousand miles fine then (don't laugh too hard) the headgasket went.

Had the head skimmed, got an mls headgasket set and rebuilt it all yesterday, cylinder 1 is still filling up with water. Not amused!

However I guess it's time to ditch the K series and look for something else.

It will be another slow project but here you go.

Options for engine wise are (all of these were fitted from factory at some point in these)

Another K series, however probably not this because I am not a fan of self inflicted pain.

Honda engine, D series vtec maybe?

PSA XUD



Oh yes, its RED, with bumper coded bodywork! Not body coded bumpers... AVO coilovers, has just over 50,000 miles under its belt in 21 years and is pretty immaculate engine fail aside.
