Mye trøbbel med Rover 214?

[dao]

Har hørt rykter om at det er mye trøbbel med disse Roverne 214, 1997 modeller.

 

Noen som har noen erfaringer/kunnskaper om dette? Har satans så lyst på den, men må jeg skru på den hele tiden så er ikke det noen ønskesitusajon...

 

Takker for alle hjelp og tips:)

Er IKKE å anbefale, kvaliteten på bilene er grusom, og skal du ha en, så er det el ingen bil så er prutbar en disse, fabrikken er nedlagt, så de er verd nokså lite!

 

Du må skru en del, og motorene er veldig dårlig, mange som har hatt problem med at de stopper når du står stille p.g.a de ville ikke opp på turtall på tomgang!

Litt kjipt evntuelt drag race, hehe

 

Koffer akkurat denne?

Den er fin å se på i hvertfall

What's Good

Compact. Good looking. Low wind noise at speed. Stainless steel kickplate 'Rover' image. All good performers for their engine size apart from 1.1 and 1.4 8-valve. Vi, fitted with MGF VVC engine tremendously quick and also very economical. Perky 1.6 CVT automatic offers instant acceleration out of side roads. 1.1 replaced Rover 100 as a sub-£10,000 offering. All have three three-point rear belts. One of the few cars offering warm air to the feet and fresh air to the face at the same time. Timing belts of L Series diesels apparently do last the scheduled 5 years or 84,000 miles. Rovers generally had slightly below average warranty repair costs in 2003 Warranty Direct Reliability index (index 93.69 v/s lowest 31.93), just beating Nissan. Link:- www.reliabilityindex.co.uk Average for breakdowns, problems and faults in 2003 Which survey.

 

 

What's Bad

Slow, over-light steering spoils all models, including Vi. Not quite out of Rover build-quality problems. CVT could be too 'instant' for some elderly drivers not used to automatics. 'K' Series engine inlet manifold 'O' rings tend to perish between 25 - 30,000 miles. Possibility of camshaft coming adrift on 1.8 Vi. Crankshaft sensor cable is too short on some cars and may pull out of the connector, immobilising the car. Misfires commonly caused by failed resistor in rotor arm or by water ingress to coil as well as faulty ECU. Head gasket failure common because very low coolant capacity of engine means small leaks rapidly lead to overheating. Weakest point is water heated inlet manifold gasket. Many trim parts not being made and consequently unavailable. 15th from bottom for reliabilty in Auto Express 2002 reader survey of 100 models. 20th from Bottom in 144 car 2002 JD Power / What Car? Customer Satisfaction Survey of V and W reg cars. THOUGH SITUATION NOW IMPROVING, SOME PARTS FOR ROVERS ARE NOT IMMEDIATELY OBTAINABLE, CAN RESULT IN LONG PERIODS OFF THE ROAD.

 

 

What to Watch Out For

Variable gearshift quality. Different models have different linkages, but a hollow pin wears and may drop out. No big deal since a replacement costs just 6p. 'K' Series cylinder heads have been known to become porous and their head gaskets to fail (look for mayo under oil cap). Timing belt replacement on K Series essential every 35,000-40,000 miles or every 3-4 years. Backroom advice from expert David Lacey on buying a Rover 200 diesel: "Watch out for oil leaks from the oil pump area, coolant leaks from the thermostat housing at the front of the engine, cracked/broken/missing underbelly acoustic trays (Expensive), cambelt & fuel pump belt change at 84000 miles. Check that the radio and remote control on the steering wheel works and also check that you recieve TWO sets of keys with TWO remote controls as the key will be useless to start the engine on its own without the remote. Another remote will cost about £80." If has ABS, fuse is on the ABS ECU inside the car and easily dislodged by clothing causing dash to show ABS faulkt warning.

Synes det er litt merkelig om det er så mye galt med dem, er jo Honda stort sett en Honda..
