      Looking at a 2003 2.0 diesel Tourer for my 25 year old son. He loves the retro look. But is it going to break the bank running it

      @@almondgrove7580 Like any older car, they need looking after. The diesels go forever but its the rust to look out for - sills, rear arms etc but parts are a plenty. For the money, these cars are just wonderful!!

      The internet is a village. I didn't expect to see you here, hehe.
      I'm currently thinking about getting either a Jaguar X-Type or Rover 75. Totally loving the designs of both.

    Very informative but I was straining my ears to try and listen to you as your car sounds very noisy inside the cab as the engine sounded pretty noisy and clunky to me.
    As an aside, I have never seen anyone with a driving seat so much tilted as yours was, you looked not far off from lying horizontal. Thanks anyway.

    Nice car, never had one but always fancied one. You didn't say anything about the extreme road noise which made you a wee difficult to understand. Would expect a much quieter ride for such a big comfy luxury tank.

      It was just my rubbish phone camera which was mounted to the window of the car and the road noise was being transferred directly through it. It's a fantastically quiet car, save for a bit of engine noise at motorway speeds on tje diesel.

      This video is nearly 6 years old, the car is bean tins now and likely the camera too, so not to worry.

    I test drove a Rover 75 2005 2.5 litre V6 and the acceleration was not responsive.
    I had to literally press hard with my foot on the accelerator to get speed pick up
    of the car. Is this a common issue with this series model?

    • @split_pin
      @split_pin  Před rokem +2

      I'm not sure, could be a number of things such as a tired fuel pump, blocked fuel filter or sticking throttle body.

    That is either an extremely noise car - or you were recording with one of the windows open ?
