Pads went on the front and the calliper was sticking but that's it.
If anything this car's been over serviced!
I love it to be honest, it's my first car and I couldn't ask for more. For a 10 year old car with a 1.4 engine it is superb and will take out many a new car with a bigger engine.
I've had it banging out 114mph top whack and a 0-60 of around 10 (Rover claim 11). The engine seems to adapt very well to how you want to drive it.
I'm only 18 and have driven about every car you can think of and still think this is a great car.
You are a danger to yourself and others. God help any motorists or pedestrians that have the misfortune to be in the vicinity of where you are driving! I think you would benefit from witnessing first hand the aftermath of some of Britain's road traffic accidents. Quite a lot of them are caused by cocky egotistical teenagers like yourself who obviously don't give a damn about anyone else. I would dearly like to see you lose your license until you are MAN enough to own one.
From a gentleman of the road - - a dying breed.
Rover 414 SLI is an excellent car. I learned to drive in one and its a total gentlemans vehicle, I'm only 18 and drive a Peugeot and am now looking for a 400 (new shape).
Whilst deploring poor driving by anyone in any vehicle, and I agree that the 'combat mentality' of many young drivers persists, it is worth remembering that in the end everyone is penalised by unduly high insurance premiums. Perhaps the only way forward is for insurance companies to insure only certain age groups, with certain experience. You may think this will work.. but what happens when an experienced 44 year old driver gets mauled by one of these baseball cap wearing, noise blaring, couldn't give a fig about anyone else morons? Perhaps the Police could do something more than just the easy pickings that they like? Speaking of the police. Have you noticed how poor their driving standards are recently? My regards to all good drivers, male and female alike.
