1995 Rover - Austin 200 214 SEI review from UK and Ireland
"Quick, cheap and with loads of kit"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The alternator failed at 72000 miles which isn't bad and a replacement was cheaply bought from a scrap yard.
The dashboard binnacle vibrated when driven over 60mph.
General comments?
The car was a high spec car for the money I paid for it with alloy wheels, half leather seats and electric windows.
For a 1.4 the K series engine is very lively, but needs to be revved to get the best from it, unfortunately it handles like a big heavy car with lots of under-steer and vague steering.
