1983 Rover - Austin Metro HLE review from UK and Ireland
"An oil truck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Battery died.
Front ball joints had to be changed.
Rear window heater never worked.
Always leaked oil.
General comments?
Don't buy an old Metro unless it's in top condition. You hear too many noises when driving, and you can never find the problems!
