    Was that why you gave up stocking them - because you knew so little about them? :confused:

    Not seeing any documented evidence that there is a major issue with head gaskets on 2.5 v6's.

    Just got sick of rebuilding the sodding things...

    I have fond memories of selling rovers. I was a trade underwriter in my spare time for about 10 years for a local rover dealer group, so a good percentage were rovers that were too old (3+ years) for them to retail.

    I would still have a soft spot for the 2.5 v6.... hence the irrational defensiveness...
