Can anybody help me on the new Rover 75 i just bought. Since then, its been overheating. Can anyone with Rover75 experience advice me on what to do abt the overheating problem. Or incase anyone knows a very good mechanic that can find a solution to my problem before i cook up the engine. 

Or in case anyone with same car could help in what he did to his to stop overheating on his car. please i need help ASAP.

Is your cooling fan working?
How is your coolant?

I'd advice you sell it off while it's value is still good once you have it fixed, they look good and come cheap but they break down too darned often,

change your radiator to double cell it happen with some cars imported from [b]cold region [/b]knowing Nigeria is a hut zone that is all

@Siena, the cooling fan is working and it has gone through bleeding as well.

thanks

dont MIND him ooo its a common problem,

So you want him to sell a car while its still harbor fault? you are a bad Nigerian

@FAITHSFI, maybe i will look into dt as it looks logical.

The Rover K-series engines are prone to head gasket issues, including V ones.

The block is also all-aluminium, so won't tolerate being run at prolonged high temperatures.

First determine the following:

The fan/s work. If not coming on at aroun 86 degrees, check fuse, and fan itself. The Rover 75 fan is operated via the ECU, so no seperate thermo switch.

The thermostat isn't stuck shut - this will manifest itself as the lower radiator hose being cold / warm, whilst the top one will be burning hot. The heater also may only blow cold air. Don't remove the thermostat completely, if required, get one of a lower operating temperature.

If all the above are fine, I'd highly suspect the head gasket was at fault. To check this, you'll have to have a "sniffer test" to determine the presence of hydrocarbons in the coolant.

good work siena

Man that is it oooooo all what he said are the possible problem. Dont let that think your Rover is bad its a nice car

happy repairs jare

LOL, is this dude blind , did i not say after he has fixed it even Siena - who is well known for his knowledge with automobiles said this

. I know so many people that have used Rovers before plus you can check reviews online

@Siena, thanks so much for the advice, but how do i get the lower operating temporature. Can you pls throw lite on dt?

thanks once again.

First step is to establish it's just an overheating issue, not related to failed cylinder head gaskets, or worse, cracked heads.

thanks man, i will do just dt, you r so much useful to dis forum. just a quick question, what mechanic would u recommend for Rover 75 repair, Honda mechanic or BMW mechanic, bicos i learnt it was first bough over by BMW while during this time, Rover 75 was made before it was bought over by Honda. pls correct me if am wrong.

thanks a million man.

Most BMW specialists will be able to work on the Rover 75.

It's not such a complicated engine either, and is actually quite easy to work on, once you get used to the very tight confines of the engine bay.
