Ah, yes, crap valeo rads ;D
Measure the length of yours, if its the longer type, I may have a Valeo (OEM) copper (or is it bronze) type for good money. Bought in error, mine takes smaller type, go a replacement from adrad cheap, but fittings were a PITA.

It's not leaking know, but looking at it it soon will be.
Get it repaired or changed as soon as possible, cos it's bound to go at the worst possible moment.

what do you expect marie, you should never trust a car thats named after a dog ;D ;D
-
Actually Marie, don't leave it like that - remember the K is tempremental, and glitches on the coolant system can end up with having to take the head off

Mrs TheBoy has a cheapie from adrad, around £35 iirc delivered. OK, you have to bugger about a bit with nuts and bolts to mount it, but thats pretty cheap...

In all honesty I've never been behind the wheel of one, but years back, at a training college, they were commenting on how nice it was to have to remove the front of he car to replace the radiator of one of the smaller Rovers :-? :-? :-?.
I was lent a 825/825 once. A truely horrible car! Turning circle was around 100ft .... and under steered for fun! :-? :-? :-? :y

Much like a lot of cars tbh. Friggin Audi A4 cambelt, front of car and radiator has to come off. rather stupid German designer.
Most Rovers and Austin-Rovers are pretty easy to work on to be honest.
