1997 Rover - Austin 200 220 SDI review from UK and Ireland
"An unbelievable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 96000 miles I had to replace the brake master cylinder.
New Glow plugs and battery at 100000 miles.
General comments?
This is a very quick and reliable car. it will catch pigeons and gives any boy racer something to worry about. the interior is holding out well, it hasn't developed any major rattles and the steering wheel has not become in the slightest bit smooth. the only fault I can pick with this car is that it eats air filters, but that is a small price to pay for such a brilliant car. this car is a credit to rover and has been seriously underestimated by others.
