Contemplating one, but for Mrs TB, I'd feel unhappy, as ABS wasn't standard on the TDs.

That said, I have all the diag equipment for post 2000 Rover, which is a consideration when (if) chosing a replacement...

Bodywork, and overall condition was almost perfect. Usual problem with the inside door handle trim not staying on, and the CD Changer was highly strung (too many CDRs, don't tell Dave DND :P)

Don't think i'd have the latest 25. I bought an 05 GSi to repair and it was plain to see and hear that Rover had cut back big time. Wouldn't mind the Streetwise though ::)

Agreed, I think in the last 12 months or so they were just a mish mash of what parts were left.
