This Rover was brought in for a diagnosis of a rough engine performance and general ck out.
The dad has decided not to continue fixing this Rover and instead look for a newer one.
It has a compression issue with the LH cylinder head which I believe is a head gasket failure. I suspect the engine still has the original shim style gaskets and could benefit from fitting the newer composite gaskets;
there is a long crank period when the engine is up to temperature which I supect is at least one leaking fuel injector;
the rear brake rotors are undersize;
one of the swivel pins has play, I just don't remember which one;
there is severe rust in the LF A- pillar and sill, evidence of rust in the rear wheel arches and I can only assume elsewhere.
It runs and drives, is shiny and straight enough.
I'd like to see it out of my yard sooner than later;
Asking $650
