can i still drive a rover 1.4 for short distances if i suspect it needs a new head gasket. Also can you give me a rough price for a replacement?

Hi there ,

The more you drive it the more damage you will do, to the point that the head may be unrepairable if it cracks internally, so i would only drive it to be repaired, as for cost, there are to many variable and it will be needed to be inspected when removed to make an accurate estimate.
