1996 Rover - Austin 400 414 Si 5Dr review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Defective Radio on delivery.
Rattle from exhaust.
Rattles from behind dashboard/console.
Squeaks and groans from steering column.
General comments?
A good car spoilt by not being put together properly on the production line. I cannot fault the attitude and commitment of the Main Dealer who eventually sorted all the problems out except for a rattle or two.
Apart from this the car has been reliable and comfortable. It also performs surprisingly well for only having a 1.4 ltr engine.
