I needed a cheap city car - But is that what I bought?

I thought that I could delay the engine replacement in the Rover 400, as it's still working, and buy a small city car instead for around 1000€.
That was not what happened.
Here's everything wrong with my decision - and the car itself.

Overall, it looks like you've made a good acquisition. All those small niggles are easy to fix and it is worth getting the car in fully working order. Those cars design is timeless (intemporal) and they remain good looking cars. The km are flashing, suggesting you may need to do a proxy alignment. There's a software tool called Multiecuscanner that is worth purchasing. It costs 50€ or so but you get your money back very quickly. The word you were missing is "filler" (betume). Yes, the previous body work job should have leveled the metal up more. Short term attention is recommended as it can lead to rust, making the repair more onerous. Please by all means, post videos with those repairs even if short ones.

Thank you! The issue with the odometer flashing happened because I turned the engine on too quickly, I think - I didn't let the check finish. I have already come across multiecuscanner - I was about to buy a OBD2 reader, but cheap ones are limited comparing to what multiecuscanner can do. As for the cracked filler, I'm not considering it a priority - a "reliable source" told me that the paint is 3 years old, and the filler crack is thus more recent than that. The car stays in the garage and this is far from the coast, so it should still hang in there for a while. Thank you, I'll definitely upload other videos as I fix these things!

Já dizem os americanos: happy wife, happy life. E o 147 é um carro fixe de conduzir, felizmente. :) Obrigado!
