Rover 25 starting

Car: Rover 25
Variant: 1.4
Model Year: 2000
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Hi All,
rover 25, freezing weather, battery dead. Replaced the battery but only getting a click from the starter, replaced the starter, still the same problum. Found all the hoses and coolant reservoir solidly frozen, would the engine be frozen, hence the starter won't turn it over?
any help appreciated.

i would try to start it at all as your water pump is belt driven and that will be preventing you from turningthe engine over so will have to wait for a nice warm day for it to defrost before you attemp to start the car

when starting my rover 25 (04 plate) it starts ok but as soon as i come off the revs the engine will stop. will continue to do this until engine warms up. seems to run fine then. would this be a clutch problem?? any advice would be welcome
