Seeing as Rover is bust, would it cost a lot to get parts for a rover metro if broken down?

Just a thought, the rover metro is quite old and I was wondering are parts for that car, still being made? Also is it a good car for a first car?|||Hi


Despite all the negative answers here the Rover Metro is not a bad first car as long as you get the one you have your eye on checked out by someone who knows cars. They were very prone to rust which would be the biggest worry also the later petrol models ( 100 114 etc) had the rover k series engines of either 8 or 16 valve which were good but prone to cylinder head gasket failure if not maintained properly. The 115D diesel version is good as it uses a proven Peugeot engine. Trim levels were best in the range topping models but safety is poor as this is basically a face lifted 1970's design car. Cheap and cheerful with little or no street cred but reliable enough if well maintained and usually bought new by older people so low mileage well cared for examples can still be found. Spares are still plentiful as the k series engines are used across the rover range. Hope this helps you.|||No it will be cheap as it will just go to waste if it is not used.|||wouldn't go anywhere near it in case a few tin worms jumped off it onto mine!|||Great little car for a first timer and no problems with parts either new or second hand.|||Not a good first car if you want to be on the road more than off - not reliable now due to age.


Lots of parts still available though|||Come on people, at least give a link!





Rimmer brothers have every single part for Rovers and MG, Austins etc
