1990 Rover - Austin Montego SL review from Australia and New Zealand
"Not glamourous, but a good workhorse"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering pump ran a bearing.
Had to replace front pads and discs.
Right rear power door lock sticks.
General comments?
Generally I have had no problems with the car apart from niggling faults as listed.
The seats are uncomfortable on a long trip and the steering is heavy, but it has absolutely no rust whatsoever!
