Post by TiberiuS on May 5th, 2008, 6:11pm Sell the Rover and use the Scorp on a ram-raid and you'll never have to worry about money again ;D You said yourself how touch it was to get into, driving through a shop window won't barely put a scratch on it ;D Or even better, kidnap your bank manager and stow him in that massive cavernous boot while you await somewhere desolate and deserted for the booty :P Rover is a nice car, if you do a lot of town driving then the Rover would be better, for motorways and fast roads I'd keep the Scorp.. Nobody can make your mind up for you ;D Regards, Bruce ;) |

Title: Re: Rover 600 vs Scopio. What to do? Post by chrali on May 5th, 2008, 8:54pm I drive 40 miles a day all of it on A roads with about 3 corners! I just waver between a gas guzzler that felt fine the 5 miles I drove it 3 months ago and a Rover weve done 30k on but has odd burning smells causing a lack of confidence. I'd rather drive the scorp, so I WILL sell the rover and donate its cash to the scorp! Cheers guys... ;D |

Alright m8, NSR window. Did consider breaking in using the fixed small window, but thought that'd be worse to fix. |

Title: Re: Rover 600 vs Scopio. What to do? Post by sector-9 on May 8th, 2008, 12:03am Well I actually like the Rover 620 diesel; I think it's a cracking engine that I'd love to have again, especially as they are reputed to run on cooking oil (though it's direct injection with only 3 glowplugs, so I don't know how long it'd last on it!). Unfortunately the bodywork on the 600s do rust quite badly which is one of the things which put me off mine - I pressed on some bubbling paintwork below the passenger door mirror and created a 4in rust hole in the door! The other problem on mine, which basically killed the car, was the diff bearings in the gearbox collapsed, got ground up in the gear teeth and spewed out all over the drive, complete with gear oil. >:( I'd have another Rover with that engine, but I'd rather not have another 600 and I think that was the largest car fitted with that engine. If you can afford to run the Scorp then keep that, otherwise keep the Rover but start saving up for it's replacement! Darren |
