bought a bargain

Well Ive gone and done it. A guy was advertising a Royal Blue fully optioned Rover 75 2.5 with an overheating issue for peanuts. Went and had a look at it,engine smooth,interior nice,paint on bonnet and boot a little faded, drove it for about 10 minutes,temp gauge perfectly normal but then steam out of the expansion cap,temp gauge still reading normal ? Thermostat leaking a little bit.

No oil in the water nor water in oil

Anyway,bought it ,getting it checked out by my mechanic and hoping its an air lock or stuck thermostat not a HGF.Going to try and get her up and going for another life instead of the breakers.

Has a small dent of the drivers side front fender,need a few interior trim bits as well,anyone know any breakers that will ship panels to Australia ?

Anyway of telling how old the belts are ? is there a visible indicator?

Its done 190,000km so should be coming up to its second set.
