Fixing a heater on a Rover 45 is an extremely simple procedure. Jusrt remove the glovebox and sound deadining below it, then two screws hold the heater coil in. You can get these re-soilered or brand new ones for less than £15 delivered off ebay. Fit new one and away you go.

So I cannot be absolutely sure, but it is highly likely.
The 214GSi box broke up at 116k, and the 214si box is still going at 93k.My name is Darren.

A rewire is planned as soon as the snow has cleared
A couple of resistor coils have also failed, but I have replacements waiting to be fitted. Funnily enough, I have three cars to do this on in total: my 25 and my wife's Streetwise have both lost speeds 1 and 21983 (Y) MG 1600

Mine's a 1.4 16v 103PS and I also find 5th gear a bit short, but it's not much different MPH>RPM to the 75s and MG ZT I've driven. 70 comes at around 3,200RPM while my cruising speed of 65 sits at 3k.Steve Worsley
