The thermostat housing is right in the middle of the v of the engine, the injectors, fuel and air inlet has to be removed to get to it, the thermostat is in a sealed housing and the housing does crack slowly and break apart eventually, this will be noticed by water having to be added regularly with no apparent water leaks, the water first leaks in a fine spray and evaporates on the hot engine, later the housing will break open totally and you have sudden loss of all coolant, Never drive a kv engine any distance at all if the overheating signal shows.
biggest engine to fit is a 1.8 k series engine,no body modifications needed.
Does your rover 214 have a k series engine if it does it could be a problem with your head gasket
Engine code K 1.8 Grade 10W/40 Quantity including filter 4.5 Ltr
if it is a 1.4 or 1.6 K series engine its underneath the inlet manifold towards the left hand side ( nearest the belts ) 2.0 T series engine - top left hand front of cylinder head
The firing order of a Rover 1.4 16v K series engine is 1, 8, 4, 3, 6, 5, 7, 2. The number 1 cylinder is on your right as you face the engine.

Probably not, you would need a new `K` Series engine as the internals for the engine will be in different places. Honda didnt just put an engine in the rover they also wired the entire car. The engine bays are both totally different. If you still wanted to do this a conversion would need to be done.
assuming its a "k" series engine the thermostat is located in the plastic pipe coming from the back of the water pump underneath the inlet manifold on the rear of the engine
All years had 1.8L inline 4 cylinder motors 96-01 were all rover k series 02-present had Rover K's, and Toyota/Yamaha motors depending on the model.
