1996 Rover - Austin 400 review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cam oil seals perished (39,000 miles).
Cylinder head gasket renewal water seals perished and throttle cable links have been adjusted.
All work done under warranty (£376.98), suspicious about other parts of engine that have been replaced (rocker cover, cam belt cover and injection inlet manifold), maybe Rover knew of pending problems.
General comments?
Overall a good performer, no bad comments as yet, only time will tell.
