Why does the water in my Rover 25 keep getting low every time I drive it?
My water keeps going low every time I drive my Rover 25 and there's white stuff on the engine cap. What's the problem?

Standard K Series problem. Usually it starts at the 'O' ring gaskets between the head and the water heated inlet manifold, then the head gasket fails. See: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/rover/25-1999/?secti.../
