What engine is in the 2001 rover 75 club - 2001 Land Rover Discovery Series II

Question edited for clarity and toss in some CAPS..
Question moved to model category.

The power to the OBD Port should be permanently live. Have you checked fuses? Have you had a battery disconnect recently which has caused the engine immobilizer to be activated.

hi
if it has the Honda engine...replace the distributor assy complete.
If its the Rover engine...remove and clean the throttle body . Note that this task will need compressed air and special throttle bidy cleaner...dont damage the surface of the metal.

This is commonly associated with worn rotors. If that isn't the issue, you may want to check your alignment.

the car as a wire connected to the chassis and he is descharging the battery. you have to go to a car electrician and look wall the cables to see where he is not isolated.

Yes providing you check the sensors are all the same ,even a older 216 214 engine will fit but have to change a lot of things ,its only a K series engine and the block is the same

At a guess I would say that you have a valve stuck open or badly bent and the piston is hitting it If you have a noise before it happened and that is why you stopped the engine the valve head could be broken off or the top of the piston has broken away. The only other thing to cause you problem is a loose con rod hitting on the crankcase

(ETS) Engine temperetur sensor chenge

you will find that where the seams are welded there is a gap and water is spraying in from the wheel.

Hi

The main problem to watch out for on these Rovers is that they are extremely prone to headgasket failure. This Rover uses a K series engine and headgasket problems are almost inevitable at some point during the engines life due to poor design of the cooling system.

You do not say what size the engine is on the model that you are considering but 1.8 engine is particularly troublesome in this respect.

Other things to consider is the fact that Rover have long gone out of business and spare parts and body parts will become more and more difficult to source over the coming years for these cars.

There are a few other known niggles with electrics and immobiliser failures but head gasket is the main thing to watch out for. There is an uprated headgasket that can be fitted which is said to minimise the risk of the problem occurring but even the cost for this as a preventative measure is likely to run upwards of £300 to include labour and fitting.

I have included this link which outlines some other key issues to look out for on this model.
