Took a trip to view today. Interesting. Had a look underneath at the rear and snapped a couple of pics. Not sure what I should be checking.

Although the garage was closed a very helpful member of staff took time out from working on his personal project car to show me the Rover. Starting and driving and spending his own time to help me. Top man.

The car has a charging fault warning not the product of a slipping belt. Interior trim not quite in the first order. I had the impression that the rear bumper has been replaced and is insecure on one side. Documents refer to issues regarding leaky radiator and washer bottle. Also drop-links and anti-roll bar have required attention recently. The greatest entertainment was revealed in the boot. A lovely traditional little pond, lapping the bottom of the battery. Judging by the mass of mastic around the side trim securing screws this is a long standing, unresolved problem.
