1994 Rover - Austin 200 214 SLI review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Overheating problem at 21,000 miles led to blown head gasket and the engine had to be replaced. To their credit Rover paid for the new engine out of goodwill even though the car was 4 years old (the value of having it always serviced at a main dealer).
Dealer service is better than it used to be but when it comes down to it, it doesn't matter how many customer service courses they have been on, you are still dealing with a mechanic.
General comments?
Very light, pleasant car to drive.
