2000 Rover - Austin 25 GTi review from UK and Ireland
"Could be great"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car won't stop cutting out and if its not cutting out the rev's are going up and down or sometimes just going up resulting in me having to switch the engine up, I've had the car looked at by several garages including land rover which use the same engine in the free-lander, I've had it on the diagnostics machine where they found some faults and corrected them, but nothing has helped.
General comments?
If it wasn't for the problems it would be a great car its quick and handles very well and also quite good on fuel and insurance.
Maybe I've bought a bad one who knows!
Maybe this sort of thing is common in all cars, but I'm so used to Honda reliability where you don't have to think of breaking down!! I should have bought a civic vti!!
