1996 Rover - Austin 400 416 Si review from UK and Ireland
"Value for money and reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car cutting out - faulty ECU (Engineering Control Unit). Dealer tried everything before replacing this expensive unit.
General comments?
Very nice if uninspiring mid sized car.
Does not suit daily commute motorway driving at 90mph. Best keep to 70-80mph for motorway driving if done on a daily basis.
