Having used the link you showed in your post, I see that the seller used the phrase "Landrover upgraded head gasket, kit including strengthened oil rail,"
That is the precise wording which was used by the MGF Centre in Wolverhampton on all the MGF & TF cars they upgraded and sold. It would be wise to contact them on 01902 453 100 and ask if they DID sell that car at some time. If they DID, then you will know that the head gasket & other work was done properly. The price being asked on Autotrader seems high, IMO. Bill or Victoria might tell you what they sold it for if you ask nicely!
P.S.
The MGF Centre now use the words
"ZUA000080 Head gasket kit incl strengthened oil rail, new head
bolts, pressure test and skim. More info on request. 12mths
warranty.
• Underbody treatment – 3 day coating process (not just a paint over
rust!)
• Full Cambelt service – cambelt, waterpump, tensioner, oil/air/fuel
filters, spark plugs.
• New MoT
But they still use the phrase "correct product recommended by Landrover"

Thanks, Cobber, I will try that procedure next time I want to use Quote, but I suspect I will revert to high - lighting the piece of text I want to quote,then use cut & paste that text into a reply with "so-and-so said "pasted text" followed by my reply.
As ever, your explanation is clear & helpful, with proper illustrations which are invaluable.

That is a very good question!
The title caught my eye, as I have always believed that the Engineers who designed the F INTENDED that there should be proper wheel arch liners in the rear arches, as well as the fronts.
In the case of the nearside (or LHS to be clear for our European friends who drive on the wrong side of the road!) the brake hydraulics would be receiving some protection. The junction visible in my photo is (apparently) notorious for corroding. Keeping dirt, mud and salt-laden water at this time-of-year seems like a good idea to me. The two holes and the step highlighted with green circles in my photo below look as if they were intended to allow a wheel-arch liner to be attached. Why would Rover pay Stadco to do the extra tooling and pressing operations for these features UNLESS they were intended for this purpose.
Has anyone made a suitable liner? Can a liner from any other vehicle be adapted for our cars?
Any insights would be VERY welcome.

The clips, or where 4 should be, are now circled in red.
AMIN:
Since the update, whenever I quote someone's message, My new text seems to become part of the quote. Am I doing something wrong??

You will need to free the (6 IIRC) clips which hold the trim to the panel behind. Some will probably break!
You should seem them in the picture below:
