Re: AA used car test
It makes interesting reading but actually doesn't seem to reflect the experiences of the members here. Does anyone recall having a distributor problem or a leaky heater matrix? Also other than the oil weep, 2L head gasket problems are very rare, I would have said.

Rover were lucky that the AA said that the KV6 hadn't been on offer long enough to review its used-car reliability!

Had a dirty dizzy and a worn starter. I have always thought of the T series as a damn good work horse giving very little trouble.Richard Moss wrote:It makes interesting reading but actually doesn't seem to reflect the experiences of the members here.

Re: AA used car test
My dad had a T-series saloon as a company car back in 1996 on an M reg. It once broke down on our drive and I remember him push starting it. He only got 3 miles along the bypass before pulling into a layby broken down. I can't remember how he got to work or what the problem with the car was. I've never owned or driven one so I can't comment on their durability.
