If it aint broke dont fix it. Keep a regular check on oil and coolant.

The Multi Layer Steel (MLS) Headgasket is NOT a cure all.

I would advise against buying any of the K Series powered vehicles!

if yu ever need a new head gasket - dont forget to replace the rail at the same time. One without the other is a waste of time. The MLS gasket also has failures (albeit a lot less).

You should view this:

Head Gasket Failure after Land Rover Gasket Fitted? - MG-Rover.org Forums

Again, as I have said before....... liners heights are crucial, otherwise any gasket is useless!

I never replaced my oil rail MHM, no need for a 120bhp engine

Yep well aware of the issue, but then there are a lot of Rover boys who give advice and then get their man to change the timing belt.

If that is not nanny state enough, the Rover boys change their water pumps at the timing belt service...........crazy!

I take yo point - but its a matter of risk. If I am giving advice, I wud always recommend changing the rail at the same time - if you dont, then yu increase the risk of sequential HGF. You made that choice.

I wud rather do that then tell someone not to bother - then it goes HGF within a 1000 miles
