- Comment on The cars : Rover Metro/100 development story by cyclistIn reply to SD67. In general the cars which derive most benefit by having an interconnected suspension such as Hydragas for ride quality are short-wheelbase cars such as the Rover 100, cars with a short-wheelbase exaggerate pitch felt by the occupants when negotiating obstacle such a speed bumps, the i9nterconnection tends to smooth out the […]
- Comment on Raise a glass to : the MG Maestro 2.0 EFi by Glenn AylettOnce the quality was improved, these really were a valid competitor to a Golf GTI and were cheaper to buy and own. Also due to being associated with the Austin Maestro, used values for the MG Maestro were always quite low. I always liked the MG in either white or British Racing Green as it […]
- Comment on The cars : Rover Metro/100 development story by SD67In reply to Cyclist. I always thought AR had it 180 degrees wrong using Hydragas on their smallest and cheapest model. Since when did super mini buyers care about ride? Arguably the most successful British vehicle equipped with Hydragas is the Challenger tank - all 60 tonnes of it
- Comment on Raise a glass to : the MG Maestro 2.0 EFi by Ross WilliamsI've owned three 2.0i MG Maestros and loved each one. Best engine and gearbox ever
- Comment on The cars : Rover Metro/100 development story by Glenn AylettIn reply to Paul. The Rover Metro was a good car, kept Rover alive in the supermini sector, and at last came with a diesel option and five speed transmission, which buyers wanted by 1990. However, it should really have been pensioned off in 1995 and the second generation Rover 200 promoted as a larger […]
- Comment on The cars : Rover Metro/100 development story by RichardpdIn reply to cyclist. I've heard some Ford Fiestas had a 5 speed gearbox with 5th gear blocked off. This was probably due to the bean counters deciding it was cheaper than making two different boxes. It was common for owners to remove the bolt blocking the gating to get 5th gear.
- Comment on The cars : Rover Metro/100 development story by Keith AdamsIn reply to Cyclist. Thanks for the pointer – I'll dig out his red book and update the story :)
- Comment on The cars : Rover Metro/100 development story by PaulI seem to remember that the press considered it class leading for about 10 minutes - until every other manufacturer introduced new models that left the already 10 year old Metro looking very dated. Another example of the pendulum swinging from one extreme to another - from radical aluminium bodied car that even a multi-national […]
- Comment on The cars : Rover Metro/100 development story by Glenn AylettIn reply to GOJO78. @ GOJO78, the Rover Metro/100 was a decent car that had updated the original Metro for the nineties and was far better made, but this was the problem, as you say. It was a car that was still very reminiscent of the 1980 Metro and had become small and dated looking […]
- Comment on The cars : Rover Metro/100 development story by cyclistThe option of a 5-speed gearbox over 4-speed was £250, I test drove the entry level K series model (1.1C I think), has anyone taken a 4-speed gearbox to made it a 5-speed specification? The salesman thought the 4 and 5 speed gearboxes were identical internally, Is it a case of the 5th gear being […]
