1987 Rover - Austin Metro City review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first got the car one of the rear bearings was noisy and had to be replaced.
Water Pump needed to be replaced due to leak.
Front wing needed replacing due to rust, also rear subframe suffered the same fate.
General comments?
We've had this car for 5 years and it's started every time! It's now 11 years old and rust has taken its toll but I've done most of the work on it myself - most parts coming from its predecessor!
Parts are dead easy to get from scrap dealers - you can even specify the colour of bodyparts!
