Why is my Rover 25 overheating?
My Rover 25 has started overheating. The water in the tank is bubbling up and there is a small amount of steam coming out. The engine fan is also continuously on. Any idea what the fault is?

Reads like cylinder head gasket failure that is very common with the K Series engine. But if you're lucky might be no more than failed O ring gaskets between the head and the water heated inlet manifold.
