1994 Rover - Austin Maestro 700 Van review from UK and Ireland
"Super workhorse, badly finished"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Glow plugs replaced (a devil to remove).
Brake lines renewed.
Front windscreen twice.
General comments?
Good gutsy workhorse, will see off most Ford Escort Diesels.
Superb engine.
What prompted me to write is the fact that I have just done 507 miles on one tank of diesel, not on any motorway, urban motoring, pussy footing the fuel consumption was nearly 57 mpg!! From a heavily laden trade vehicle.
