1991 Rover - Austin 200 Si review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap reliable run around"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After about 6 years water pump seized
and took out the cam belt and top end.
Drivers seat now has very little support,I think i'll be on the floor soon.
General comments?
Considering it's only been serviced 3 times in 10 years and had 3 batteries I don't suppose I can complain.
OK comfort wise, easy to drive though heavy on the steering.
Would like to have stiffer front springs and better brakes other than that its been a good cheap reliable run around.
