1990 Rover - Austin Metro C review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front suspension wear at 90k.
Headlight switch at 70k.
Brake cylinders at 90k.
Rear N/S wheel bearing regularly.
General comments?
Excellent car, handled well, never let me down in 113K. But.... that rust, I loved that car but the rear arches went at 6 years and after several minor repairs I decided to strip them right back. Big mistake - they all went. Also the rear of the roof went. Why won't Rover stop this rust thing.
