1995 Rover - Austin 400 414 Si review from UK and Ireland

"Bargain? Yeah rite!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The head gasket EXPLODED and the car never ran again!

These cars a pure JUNK and I wouldn't advise anyone to buy one even if held to gun point!

I bought my Laguna Seca Green (very rare sports color apparently) Si DOHC 1400cc GT-R or €900 and I felt like I got a bargain when now its plain to see I got robbed in broad daylight!

I bought the car from a mate who is a dealer called "Bom Bom" and he promised me that Stevo test drove it and it was sweet azz! But it was far from sweet Azz because the car began to stink with a funny odor and the self destruct button must have been pressed on a daily basis!

They are real Bad cars... REAL BAD!

General comments?

I hate this car!

When the head gasket detonated under the hood about 6 months ago I was upset, not because nobody could or would bother fixing it, but the fact that the car was pure rubbish and it was sitting outside my door not running for month on end!

My mate Lope G went mad one nite and started twitching and said "RITE" the rover must die!

So we towed it away and burned it to liquid and now its gone out of my life for good!

I really am happy and I was considering setting up a company that goes around collecting these thrash can cars and reducing them all to liquid! the world would be a far better place!
