My other halfs brother turned up and he said the eml was flashing and its not running right. He said he has a water leak some where and it had got worse today. We took the spark plug out and the was alot of oil/water down the plug wells we then spotted that the water was coming from around the passanger side inlet manifold. Can any one shed any light weather its just the inlet manifold gasket or would it of done any more. If i havnt give enough info i will post back as much as i can about it. All help is appreciated

We had a w plate 75 1.8 that had it done just before we bought it and the owner showed me the receipt for £430 from his local garage, so its not the end of the world

AA part and labour policy would have kicked in here if you had/have taken it out

Does the 1.8 have the same head gasket problem? 4cyl engine, can't be that hard to replace is it?

Ahhh.

The infamous 'K'rap series  engines. Tell me about them!!

100 to 1 it's a head gasket.  Ditched a 'rover' for my omega.  (never known such luxury... 3 years, and n'er a problem!! ) As for Rover, ne'r a day when there wasn't!!
