1995 Rover - Austin 100 Kensington 1.1 petrol from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Fit only for the breakers yard
Faults:
Immobiliser stuck on and the car is now useless. Only 2 miles from where I bought it.
General Comments:
Appalling body work that attracts rust. I bought the car as a cheap run around, but 2 miles later the immobiliser refused to disengage and it is now useless. The process of neutralising the immobiliser is very time consuming and very expensive. Avoid at all costs, and go for the earlier model without the immobiliser. Who would want to steal one anyway?
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

It's 18 years old - what do you expect?

Well, people would want to steal anything that is easy to hot-wire. Unless you want your car stolen, get a decent security system; possibly an alarm may be better.
Does the place that sold it to you give any kind of warranty? Even so, it would be worth sussing things out as to why the immobiliser stuffed up so quickly.

"Who would want to steal one anyway?"
- There are thieves that will steal anything that can move under its own power, this car included!
