Rover 416 Heater - not woking

at best it could be the switching system. a faulty switch (may require a new switch or a just a clean)

Or it could be an airlock in the system (bit more of a problem)

At worst it could be signs of the head gasket (common problem with the rovers) Are you losing water? Is the water temperature gauge going higher than normal? check your water level. but also check your oil level. If your water goes down and oil goes up. You've got problems.

Hope you find a faulty switch :)

Thanks for the response Rob,

I have looked further and find that the hose is hot on the engine side of the switch but cold on the other, so I am hoping that a new switch will do it. There does not seem to be water loss, and the temp gauge is where it always has been.

Thanks Mark

you should be lucky then.........
