[edit] Merge

I've suggested merging Rover 25 into the Rover 200 article, as the 25 was just a facelifted version of the 200.

An alternative would be to have 2 articles:

  • one, entitled Rover 200 (Honda based) (or a better title?) for the Honda based 200 models
  • one, entitled Rover 200/25 for the Rover-designed model, incorporating the last 200 model as well as the 25.

- links at the top of each page to redirect people to the other article

What do people think?

Note that i've suggested an analogous move for Rover 45 and Rover 400. Spute 11:15, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • No comments, so i've proceeded with the merge. Spute 17:38, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] K-Series Head Gasket

I know the statement about the K-Series in the Metro/200 having alarming rates of head gasket failure is uncited but I recommend it stays. If my personal experiences are anything to go by, the K-Series engines in little Rover cars indeed having an alarming tendency to fail (and take the radiator with them). £500 the local greasepit wanted for a fix. And on a 1100 N reg. Good performmance though, really. Citation enough Plutonium27 (talk) 20:53, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Definitely not citation enough. Personal experience does not give any indication how common a failure like this is. If it is a serious problem sources can be found. Otherwise, it is negative unsourced material and should be removed. --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 20:58, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

How about if it is linked to the K Series page? That (and any personal probs removed) enough? Plutonium27 (talk) 16:10, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
