1997 Rover - Austin 600 Ti review from UK and Ireland
"A wolf in sheep's clothing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Coolant leaks - top and bottom pipes replaced under warranty. Okay since.
Slow power steering leak - hoses, remounted, and clips tightened up. Okay since.
Oil system failure led to permanent engine damage. New engine provided under warranty. Okay since, though 'running in' period was a bit of a pain...
General comments?
The previous owner/driver must have thrashed this car! Thank goodness for a top notch warranty and excellent dealer service. The car is everything I hoped it would be and more - I love it!
The best bit is pushing past sports car drivers when you have one adult up front reading a book and two children playing in the back!
