Obviously the newer the better - I am currently running a '98 model 600 ! Cheers lads,...

The predicament is, we need a hatch with enough room for 4 adults .... and I need another dose of T16 turbo power ! I love Rovers, but was seriously considering a Scooby Wagon ! Wha...

I had the very same thing happen to me in my Ti last year, I had a little crack in the radiator... when looking at it there was no apparent leak. When there was pressure in the Rad, I had a 4.5l water/coolant cooled engine for about a half a mile! ....same here with my old ti ! Rad had the minutest...

obviously depends what you want the end job to be like matey !!!!

If they aint too bad on the face, just rub down, fill, prime and paint !!!!

Hmm looks like the missus wants to keep my white coupe after all !!!!

She is seriously thinking about shifting the tubby tho'

Mike - the white is the best colour for coupes IMO and you can be biased all you like - after all - white suits 200's best of all !!!!
