Ringgear (cogs damaged).
Seals on the whole car rotten, lets in water, for an H plate it was incredibly rusty.
Sills replaced.
Sump!!!
3 of the 4 plastic door handles snapped off in my hand one cold morning!! Boot release catch and bonnet catch also snapped in the cold weather.
Ill fitting doors made for a draughty ride as well as the usual exhaust, brakes, brake pipes etc.
A word of warning to anybody thinking about spending serious cash on their Montego....... don't.. I spent nearly £800 this year getting it through its MOT, then 2 weeks ago somebody smashed into the back of me... I got £900 back off the insurance (middle book price).
These badly made cars have a very low resale price, I even resprayed it, the rust came back after 2 weeks (and that's with Rust Kote). One things for sure though, you'll always find plenty of them in the scrappy, buying any Rover before 94 (pre BMW takeover) is asking for trouble..... Cheap to buy, nasty to fix.
The words "Montego"and "Daytime TV" add up to the same thing......... a pile of crap.
Yes, i agree wholeheartedly with this user, i also had many problems with mine, but looking back... it was still a good car.
