As for the compression 18 to 24 2/1 that is old school #s as for the head gasket there used to be a product out there called copper seal I used it in a friends van years ago since he had $0s and needed to get his van up so he could earn the cash to fix it the right way. He never did the last time I saw him several years back he was still driving the same van and never had another problem with the head gasket. This may be a stretch but wht the hell if it works eaven for a short while the $3 to $4 investment could help you for now . Good luck Derick

Given evidence of a "fix in a can' effort already, and expanding hoses.... go for a sincere diagnosis. To continue running it, however delightful will lead to disaster. I'm not sure you couldnt swap in a newer xd3te motor or even older (ack). If the rest of the thing, trans,electrical,suspension is in good shape. If this is an xd2s, I would rebuild it, maybe 1200 for the parts and machine work (only guessing).How many miles on it?? From what I can gather the turbo peugeot motor is far more efficient than MB, if a bit less robust. If you want I'd trade you the 220d thats in the rover..... nahh you're better off fixing the peugeot.
