Newest Review: ... and added casually that this must have been a manufacturing defect! A phone call to Rover led to a curt 'Car out of ... more

 ... warrenty' response. We argued that a manufacturing defect surely indicated that the car was not fit for purpose when sold, but they weren't interested. Finally a couple of months of threats and arguments later, the Rover 'Customer Services' department said that they expected the engine to last 100,000 miles and as it had only done 45,000 they would pay 50% of the cost of a new engine, but no labour.
