1983 Rover - Austin Metro MG review from UK and Ireland
"Great drive, wish I still owned it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear suspension collapsed, hydro-gas unit leaked!
Engine started using oil at a rate of 1 litre per 100 miles.
Engine oil leaks like the Exxon Valdez.
Had to sell it on because I thought the engine was about to pack up!
General comments?
Great little car, my first!
Big comfy seats and a reasonable turn of speed, made it my choice!
Lots of induction roar at 100 mph!
