V6 HG, very, very, very rarely go.

From a recent survey, 100% of my "fleet" is affected...

I think you're "mechanic" must be confusing an omega engine with a Rover 'K' series time to find a new one

They Only pack up due to poor maintenance of the cooling system or leaving the same oil in the car too long aswell my mrs's being proof of this 3yrs 30k miles of trusty ownership replaced HG when car was new kept car serviced ever since hg never went again!

Bloke at work has a X Reg 45 its on 110k on its original headgasket

Waterpumps should always be changed when the cambelt drives the waterpump otherwise that happens!! yes HG needs to be changed aswell otherwise it might not seal properly!

K series has a fundamental design issue around the support of the liners and the position of the head bolts....they go, even when maintained.

And yes, water pumps on 4 pots should ideally be changed with the cam belt.

And no, the head gaskets only generally fail due to poor coolant maintenance.

Its done 155k so thats not too shabby, i fear its poor coolant changes which cause it to go though!
