1998 Rover - Austin 400 di review from UK and Ireland
"A very underrated good all round family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Failed emissions at 99,000 miles, new part fitted.
Centre brake light on rear window fell off, easily remedied with some glue.
Fogged up headlight.
General comments?
Rover 400 Diesels aren't slow believe me!
This car is fast, reliable, economical and very comfortable and doesn't deserve the old man image it is associated with.
The car handles sweetly and is also well equipped.
This car also tows a caravan very nicely too.
