If anything brakes down as far as the engine is concerned, what would that typically be ??

There are many reasons why one could have a problem. Your have to inspect its symptons.
If regularly serviced these engines last over 200k. My other 600ti is on 150k miles and still going fine. If you got a problem with one PM me or sign up to a Rover forum for any advice.

More than likely the head gasket!!! The K series is prone to it I am afraid, but by god it's a good engine when it works right!!!

that sounds well nice! Did you rebuild the engine yourself, and what did you replace during the rebuild?

We resurrected it from the dead! We got it as a non-starter but it was a bit more than that. Previous owner ran it and guessing never checked the oil level ever and it ran low which is deadly for the turbo and the original turbo self disintegrated and bits ended up going through the induction into the combustion chamber and made a mess.
So it's now got the same spec complete engine from a Rover 800 Vitess Turbo which while out the car easy to rebuild.
