I'm sure I've seen one in someone siggy.
What do we know, what do we think?

I just paid virtually nothing for a M plate 110k miler.

Haven't driven it yet, apparently they go like fook!


Should save the cossie from braving Tossco's car park!

 

that might be me then LOL

They're quick for what they are.

they're not Cossie quick by any imagination.

as long as you dont wheel spin it, it'll be fine

decent sized boot, front seats are comfy, room in the back for 2 adults.

generally pretty reliable - mine has 132k miles on it and its an R Reg.

the windows can have a tendency to pop off their runners, but otherwise ok usually - i havent really had any faults with mine except those caused by myself LOL

 

i think going like fook maybe exagerating it a bit

they arent slow but they dont 'feel' fast

good runaround though, if a little thirsty

 

Cheers guys, Didnt really want it - but it was too cheap to turn down.

Only needed a cv boot and a number plate for the mot.

Just need to sort out the wiring a bit - it looks like just about every sensor has got a broken connector and it doesnt run too well from cold, but should be an easy fix (HOPE!)

 

i can get 36mpg out of mine ginge.

 

had an 800 vitesse sport, never gave me any problems and cost me virtually nothing to insure.

I think as a cheap motor they are quick, comfortable with high spec for the cash.

If it goes bang, throw it away

 

i have a soft spot for my old vitesse sport - shouldn't of sold it lol

 

Ok cars- rover as a rover all day long.

Look out for EXCELLENT quality head gaskets and the sumps taking a battering on the 620's

Gearbox wise the bearings are plastic cased and can fail leaking all the gearbox oil out very quickly.

 

and if the front discs need doing you'll be in for some fun you might need new hubs if you are unlucky

 

the Klinger head gasket isnt so bad!

if phils car hasnt had one done, then likely it will be a standard one LOL.. or the owner was too tight to put a £30 gasket on hehe.

yes, lovely plastic cage bearings. hence the boost limit in 1st gear as well LOL

 

Better get the ball rolling on that one i was viewing just before xmas

 

any joy with its issues?

 

Well i got it going and ticking over, still need to replace that fuse tho....

Better get over there and get the old one as apprently theres a few different ones
