1995 Rover - Austin 200 SEI review from UK and Ireland
"Unreliable noisy rattle box!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well where should I start, here we go, I've had a new clutch cable, water tempertture sensors x2, exhaust lambda senor, water thermostat, brake pads, full exhaust, plugs, repair to drivers inner door lock, two new tyres, petrol filter, anti freeze x2, now need to change the alternator & power steering belts, due to a screeching noise.
General comments?
I've only had the car 4 months. I've spent around £300/£400 on maintanance & repair bills & that's also taking into consideration I've done allot of the work myself. Engine also noisy over 4,000 rev's, due to being a small revy 16v engine. The car needs it's engine oil topping up every two weeks & I've now put in a slightly thicker oil 15/50 instead of the recommended 10/40.
Interior nice & like the half leather seats. Averaging around 35mpg.
