2000 Rover - Austin 25 IE review from UK and Ireland
"A pile of rubbish which I wish I had never been pressured into buying"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not had any major problems with the car as of yet..
General comments?
Really hideous build quality.
The car is full of annoying knocks and creaks which I cannot rectify.
Had a really bad knocking from the hatch which I cannot fix and is really getting me down.
Constant rattles from inside the doors and sunroof sliding cover.
Creaks from dashboard when cornering.
