Bit of a basic question but as it's a rover probably damn near everything would have to be repaired by now

Hi there,
These cars have a service time table of 15k or 12months, so at a 6th yr service the timing belt will require changing, You then have air filter and spark plugs to think about, engine oil/oil filter and probably pollen filter too. Low mileage cars can then add further expense because brakes corrode rather than wear and exhausts fail from the inside/corrode as water collects internally, rear tiebar busehes split and brake pipes corrode. The list is endless

The big and costly one is known as HGF - Head Gasket Failure. Look for a creamy deposit under the oil filler cap, murky, oily cooling water and water leaks around the head/ block joint.
If these symptoms are there start saving about £500.

I would have thought that a rover of that age and high mileage would be totally beyond worthwhile repair.

Discs and pads maybe!Cv gaters and check the tracking as they are usually out thanks to all the speed bumps
