1998 Rover - Austin 400 LX review from UK and Ireland
"A quality motor"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When the car is slowing down in the lower gears, first and second gear, the clutch needs to be put down early in order to keep control of the car and stop it running away.
General comments?
The car is very quick off the mark with a 1.6L engine.
The power steering is very smooth and helps a lot when parking.
However the leather seats can be quite uncomfortable over along duration.
