1995 Rover - Austin 200 214 SEi review from UK and Ireland
"Competent all rounder"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very little, until a week ago! Went to a local garage complaining of clutch judder, and sticky firt + second gears. Turns out the clutch is OK, but gearbox needs new bearings and an overhaul.
I put this down to the Grandad that owned it last. It had only 19,000 miles spent going to the shops etc, which has clearly taken its toll.
General comments?
Love the equipment level, electric windows, roof, half black leather and alloys.
Only criticism is the ridiculously low ratio 5th gear making motorway driving a bit tiresome.
