I've never used it in my Rover but I did use it in a Corvette I had once. As far as I'm concerned.the stuff works great. That car had a digital temp gauge and after putting in one bottle of water wetter the temp went down 25-30 degrees with no other modifications. I wouldnt be at all afraid of using it

Try searching for it on this site, you'll find lots of good info. Nearly all of it is positive.

I used it all the time on all my race bikes, due to restictions of coolant on the tracks. I always used straight distilled water and Water Wetter. The stuff works!!!!

If you need a additive then you have a problem.

Used it before in my Nissan with an aftermarket gauge. Had very similar results.

Default Works best if using straight water, per manufacturer

If you believe them, works best with straight water. How many people do this? That being said, if it makes one feel better to use the stuff, invest the 7 bucks! (I did)!

Let me add...

For any vehicles using Water Wetter, use at least 25% coolant for lubrication for the water pump and the rest distilled water. Water has the best heat dissipation properties....
