Ok, so I think I have a plan of action.
Terry has referred me to EC Engines of Brierley Hill, who have quoted me £425 all in for a complete top end rebuild (which includes a replacement HG) and recovery from my address. That's £800 cheaper than what Summit quoted me for.

What's fantastic to see is how many members have rallied around you and helped in all kinds of ways - from mechancal advice to useful contacts to moral support - what a brilliant community this is. I'm pleasantly not surprised but still surprised. Good luck with the rebuild - these things they come to test us!!

This place has been a Rover owners Holy Grail, and I'm proud to be a member of it. I just wish I had one tenth of the knowledge these guys have!

Update*
Further inspection of the head has ruled out piston damage, however the valves had actually broken on contact and damaged the head itself, so a replacement head has been found and is being fitted. Cost difference will not be much more thankfully,

Well since there was only ever 36 of this colour and spec built, I thought it was worth it.
