In my opinion the short answer to the question of whether you should avoid buying a Rover / MG / Freelander with a K-series engine is No.

I agree, the K-series engines are prone to head gasket failure, but then most cars have their own issues. If you take the time to understand and care for your vehicle then you can avoid the unexpected and very high bills that come with any car when it breaks down.

These are great engines if treated well; in fact when they were first introduced they were revolutionary. Not only that, but they have been winning races in the British Touring Car Championships for over 20 years - so they are still at the forefront of technology.

The K-series engine is powerful and lightweight, and is (contrary to what some might think) a very durable engine, the bottom end is practically indestructible.

So what do you need to understand about the Rover / MG / Freelander K-series engine to ensure you don't have problems?

The first thing is that these vehicles were fitted with a single layer head gasket - don't expect to get more than 70,000 miles out of it (and it's often much less). The problem of these gaskets has been rectified by the introduction, first of a multi layer steel (MLS) head gasket, then by a modified multi layer steel (modified / upgraded MLS) head gasket. If you are buying a K-series Rover / MG / Freelander make sure it has had the head gasket replaced with the modified multi layer steel (modified / uprated MLS) head gasket, and if not replace it before you have a problem and not after!

If you are going to work your Rover / MG / Freelander hard then a stronger oil rail was introduced which allows the oil to flow better around the system; so it would be worth fitting one of these at the same time as you change the head gasket.

But you don't have to pay out big money to protect your new prized possession. Just like all of us, what it needs more than anything is a bit of love and attention. With the K-series engine you should not ignore it from one years service to the next. Flick up that bonnet every week or two and check the oil and water. You'll soon get to know how your best buddy works (which of your other buddies would take you wherever you want to go, whenever you want to go?). This way you will quickly realise if your Rover / MG / Freelander is drinking too much - time for a quick detox at the garage before it gets out of hand.

A problem caught early can save you thousands! The K-series engine is a great engine, powerful and strong, it just needs that love, attention and a bit of understanding - go on, give it some love!

Generations of the Brilliant Chevrolet Tahoe

One of the largest automakers in the world, located in the United States, the General Motors Company manufactured Chevrolet Tahoe in the early 1990's. GMC Yukon, a much similar car is also manufactured along with Tahoe. Today, Chevrolet Tahoe is popularly served as the full-size Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) across the globe. In 1994, Chevrolet started the introduction of the four-door version which then replaced the then popular Chevrolet Blazer to fully rename it and completely change to Tahoe.

First Generation (1992 - 1999)

Chevrolet Tahoe was initially built on the GMT 400 platform where both two-door and four-door models were produced. Four-door model was although introduced in 1994; the two-wheel drive and the four-wheel drive started becoming popular by then. The standard engine for the Chevrolet was 5.7L small block V8 and a Detroit diesel V8 engine turbocharged with 6.5L slowly started being available in 1994. Many changes were made starting from the 1994 replacing the predecessor Blazer. The front-clip was completely revised and the interiors and side mirrors were also revised gradually which was when the Blazer was renamed as Tahoe. The transmissions, steering system and pass-lock security system also were slowly upgraded.

Second Generation (2000 - 2006)

GMT800 platform is where the new redesigned 2000 model of the Chevrolet Tahoe was built. Smaller and new enhanced engines replaced the 5.7L V8. Complete automatic transmission was introduced with a four-wheel drive, dropping the manual transmission completely. The same GMT800 Chevrolet Tahoe is known as Chevrolet Sonora in Mexico. A Chevrolet Tahoe Limited Edition model was released in 2000, but it was completely descended from the first generation model of Chevrolet. It was produced for demand purposes but was available only for one model year. Both the vehicles - Tahoe Limited Edition and Chevrolet Tahoe started receiving considerable updates. The grille in the front and the headlights were the only features that distinguished each other during that time.

Third Generation (2007 - present)

The Tahoe and the Yukon were redesigned again in the late 2005's and were introduced on the new GMT900 platform in 2007. Chrysler advanced hybrid systems were used in the making of these 2008 models. Tahoe name was then used in Mexico for the first time. Enhanced and better redesigned engines were used which were smaller but much powerful. The engines that were used are 4.8L V8, 5.3L V8 and 6.2L V8 engines. Active Fuel Management cylinder deactivation was the new technology that was used where there was good improvement in the highway mileage where it reached to 22 mpg from around 19 mpg. The fuel capacity of the Chevrolet Tahoe 2008 model was increased to 26 gallons.

The current model (2009 model) is much similar, though the power of the engine has been upgraded to 395 hp from 380 hp. The torque still remains the same as it is in the 2008 model which is 417 lb-ft. The 2008 model was already been upgraded from its previous version. 2007 model Tahoe used to produce only 340 lb-ft torque.

The current model of Chevrolet Tahoe was very well-received even in the global market and the sales only in the year 2009 till the month of August have been 42,401.

Does anyone have anything good/bad to say about Chev Tahoe/ GMC Yukon? I am thinking about buying one, advice?

I had an 03' Tahoe it was the greatest, but maintainence and repairs are quite expensive. Also expect to be at the pump a lot. 18 mpg Highway. I would buy another for the right price.
