1998 Rover - Austin 200 DS review from UK and Ireland
"Economical/reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
3 door locks on the driver's side, 2 door locks on the passenger side and both driveshaft gaiters have failed at different times.
Rust treated on the nearside sill near the passenger door and around the tailgate aparture.
General comments?
Reliable car with plenty of torque to pull our caravan up and down the country.
A bit concerned about the quality of the paintwork and possible further rust.
