1987 Rover - Austin Metro City X review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Worn engine, knackered gearbox, burnt out distributor, front wheel bearings, ball joints, blown head gasket, major oil leaks, hole in the floor, 100's of flat tyres, exhaust fell off. You name it, it went wrong!
General comments?
Felt like torching it. Mind you, the car only cost £100. Not to mention the £950 I spent on repairs. The car was an unreliable piece of crap. If "D508WBB" is still on the road now, I shall be very surprised. The low (?) mileage made me buy it - 46,000. I had the car for 3 months and sold it for £100 with 46,988 miles on it.
*** Don't buy this car if you see it ***
