Try changing the plastic pressure cap on the filler/expansion bottle. These often fail causing the system to boil over while the temp gauge reads normal. They only cost about £5

Sounds like who ever done your gasket didnt skim the head.Rovers are famous for warping their heads if been roasted even once .Any white smoke from the exhaust.suspect head needs to come off skimmed and pressure tested,trying to cut corners dosent always work mate.
