1995 Rover - Austin 200 SLi review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
All exhaust valves replaced TWICE. Crankshaft oil seal went which knackered clutch. Also, gearbox oil seal had gone too. Exhaust tail box replaced and both front tyres. Thermostat gone and fuse blew to electric cooling fan, which resulted in car overheating on M25!
General comments?
This car is a DOG. I will NEVER by another Rover. Take this as a warning - steer clear. Buy Japanese, Buy Volvo, but don't ever, ever buy a Rover. And, to top it all, we have just been ripped off to the tune of £400 by a Rover dealer for a 60,000/ 5 year service - when the car is only 3 years old and has only done 49,000. On top of this they wanted to replace the front discs, but I said no.
