am searching for a reliable and relatively simple second car and, although I can do a lot of work on cars myself, I'm not in a situation to deal with a car that seems to have such complex problems such as over-heating and inlet manifold faults.

I wish I was in a more fortunate situation where I was able to own a Rover 75 as I've wanted one since they were released but, such is life.
Happy motoring to all you 75 owners. I hope you are all able to use your collective knowledge to resolve the issues of these desirable cars. Maybe oneday, to quote a famous Austrian...aahll be buck.

Hi Aidan.
Go for a diesel then no over heating problem then, upgrade it for more power, win win situation.

Easy to service, some later ones do not have the UBFP some have the FBH so you are nice and toasty in the winter, i know of a nice one coming on the market in near future due to the owner not being able to drive it anymore, well looked after one fail in 2009 on a Nearside Rear coil spring fractured.
