1990 Rover - Austin Montego DLX Estate review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rust - wheel arches and roof weld seams...failed alternator is only extraordinary problem. Also usual wear & tear like tyres, exhaust, brakes. Also have replaced parts that have failed through sheer exhaustion like the door hinges, tailgate struts & electric window switches.. well, the car has done 152,000 miles!
General comments?
Good long distance load lugger, sometimes a bit under-powered (I put this down to age!), comfortable, loads of room, & mechanically A1 reliable.. it starts first time every time & just keeps on going! A good overall package let down by poor bodywork.
Of all the Montys, the diesel estates are the best.
