General comments?
I ended up giving up on this car as it was a complete nightmare. I owned it for less than 800 miles, and every time I fixed one problem another would emerge.
I understand it is an older car, but it had Full Rover Service History, 90k and seemed to have been cared for. From what I could see, and especially after owning the Volvo, the parts were cheap and very poorly made. I would not touch another Rover with a barge poll; plus why are the parts so expensive? They are more than BMW or Volvo, seems strange to me?
The only thing I can say is in a straight line there is not a lot that could keep up with this car, but forget corners unless you like hedges.
