Rover 75 2001

5 star review

Owned since new and covered 146000 blissful miles in its understated luxury. If Marks & Spencers made cars this would be it. I’ve got other newer cars but can’t see myself without the baby Bentley.

Rover 75 2001

4 star review

I bought this car on the strength of my previous experiences of Rovers over the years ranging through a P5,2000’s( tc & sc’s), 2800’s,SDI,75 tourers etc. This con. auto caught my eye and I decided to buy it; plus 10 yrs old, 75000 miles, one owner,and more service stamps that you could shake a stick at. But I had forgot the one thing that that disappointed me with all of them...FUEL CONSUMPTION, not bad, but not that good. The car that I got rid of was a Purgeot 407, very comfortable and fuel figures on a run down to Limoges in France giving me 57 to the gallon. However, the SLIGHTEST problem that arose and the computer says " NO", it’s the garage for you, and that is bloody megga expensive. Also the build quality of the Rover is superior to the Purgeot. Do I miss the Peugeot? A little. Am I happy with the Rover? Oh yes! It might be called a grandad’s car, that’s alright, I AM A BLOODY GRANDAD!

Rover 75 coniseur diesel cd 2001

4 star review

Bought a year ago with about 100k miles, wanted a big comfy diesel and this car has filled the criteria. Have done 18k miles, motorway and urban, and car has has never flickered, big leather seats ,wood dash, cream dials, british racing green, nice. Road holding great and as many owners have already said you get a consistent 50mpg, my kids call it a grandad’s car but having owned many cars over the years this has been the best. I have always wanted the 75 as the retro styling really appealed to me and the interior is as nice as the exterior. The engine is a detuned BMW unit and when you first drive it you will find it slow, it doesn’t accelerate so much as wafts along, and its really is nice on the motorway and for 1500 its a bargain for me.

Rover 75 Tourer 2.5 Manual 2001

5 star review

Drove recently purchased 75 2.5 lt Tourer Manual from Brisbane to rural Victoria with only refreshment breaks. No coffee, sugar, - only high protein plus milk and tuna and egg salad. Yes, I accept food sounds pretty wierd! Planned on breaking 1700 km trip, but roads (particularly Newell Highway) almost deserted. Low NVH of car appreciated - plus general responsive handling on standard Yokohamas. Done 4000 kms after arrival - very satisfied. Curious if anyone knows how many Manual 2.5 ltr Tourers (S/W) made, and how many exported to Australia. They all seem to be autos. Only quirk noticed is if one wishes to add octane booster/injection cleaner, one needs a screwdriver to depress fuel nozzle flap - and sometimes after this terrible sounding procedure fuel indicator sometimes stays at level before filling. Cannot be sender unit surely? Also vehicle has fitted a Blaupunkt TestPilot DX-R4. No manual resulted in me being told constantly to do U-Turns to travel back to Queensland in areas I never knew anything other than a Vespa could make such turns!! Have tried ’net etc. Has anyone got any idea where to get a manual? Used to be petrol head - now an ancient 56 though - but especially in Australia do not feel that vehicle underpowered, nor that torque peaks at too high rpm. Am concerned what needs to be done for 100,000 service as living in bush makes having reliable transport essential.
