Looking at one of these as a runaround for the misses, school run shopping etc..

Thinking about the 1.8, 120bhp version as a middle of the road option and was just wondering if anyone had any views on running and owning one of these cars.

I've heard about headgasket issues but not sure if it's on this engine, other than that is there anything else to look out for ?

Can you still get bits for them since rover went tits up ?


I guess I could get a Reyland Audi engine conversion done if it blew up... LOL....


any input appreciated

Thanks
