2:29 this car was taxed till 2005 - so someone was driving it around for 3 years after this TV programme first aired.

The teletubbie looks more like a lager lout than a dealer.

[@Draxindustries1]

Some people dont realise that just because a vehicle is either a Cat C or D write off it doesnt always mean its dangerous. Some cars meet this criteria because of (for instance) a broken bumper and headlight. As long as a vehicle is repaired correctly and sold as a damaged repaired vehicle there shouldnt be a problem.

[@MrKieranps1990]

Problem is, people (mostly foreigners who have no idea of vehicle safety and how systems work and originate from country's where they don't care about vehicle safety) are "Fixing" then badly, I've seen multiple instances where airbags had gone off and they cut them out and put resistors in to trick the ECU so the light comes on and goes off as it should, also seatbelt pretensioners in seatbelt having there metal ball bearings removed, under covers used to hide holes is chasis, metal mounting points being broken off and welded back on in random positions so the car will never drive straight, self tapping screws holding panels together, I've even seen a ring end of a spanner used to pack out a gap between the chasis and subframes. Even seen ones that have had there tracking adjusted at a offset position so when you drive it puts the steering wheel straight but when you hit a drain or pothole it would skip all over the road, I will never buy a car that's been clapped up in a accident.

[@schneil]

The brother at 7:54 says the car is cat D, but the chassis is bent.

A bounty hunter walks into a remote western saloon and sees 3 men sitting at a table drinking. Adolf Hitler, Osama Binladen and a garage owner. He has just 2 bullets left in his gun and glances at a ripped wanted poster for osama binladen in his pocket. What does he do? Answer : He shoots the Garage owner two times, just to be sure he is dead!

[@mistofoles]

I thought that first bird was Diana Dors !

[@cornfed123567]

to be honest if you buy the car without getting it checked out, its your fault, people lie and cheat, that is why you get it checked out by yourself

[@macnerd93]

This was a time before HPI checks and stuff became more mainstream on an iPhone app for example, I think it was Broadcast in 1997 or 1998 the program. Most wouldn't know about HPI and would think the only way to find a vehicle history would be to contact the previous owner manually on the log book and wait to hear back from them.

[@brianrennie133]

if you want a real rip off ....go to kwik fit or halfords

I always had an excellent experience at Kwik Fit; I suppose it is a matter of luck.

[@corneliusdrvanderbilt822]

I was a Praktikant at BMW, Munich for 9 months as a pre university requirements, in 1962. The problem of today's passenger vehicle is paramount due to the stupidity of our profit oriented society. Here it goes. A car is brilliantly designed, accurately specified then enters the Bean Counter / Accountant / Financial 'bloke' and starts discarding 'this and that' recommending pieces that are cheaper to maximize profit. The End User suffers. Even so, the Dealer with shiny showrooms with glib salesman show green pastures to the perspective buyer. Most buyers are stupid and gullible, especially, of used cars. They never take the time to get to know their needs that is paramount for their use of the vehicle. Women are more stupid and vulnerable. If they invest a little money to get the vehicle tested / evaluated by AA / RAC or a reputable mechanic, they would be wiser and well informed. They should also allocate at least 10% of the purchase price for getting it fixed after purchase. I recommend local Garage with good reputation. The charlatans are big Chain garages. Additionally, like in America, there should be an independent Organization like the Better Business Bureau ... to entertain complaints. Additionally, most car users of today are unfit to drive a car though they have a Diver's Licence. They brake incessantly, they play music at the highest volume, women do make up while driving and chatting with their friend on the mobile, their kids are fighting in the back and then they blame when they hit the car in front for braking at the traffic light ... A car is a weapon that requires careful handling. It can kill, worse, it can make people paraplegic ... No car drivers thinks that way ... Keed your distance and concentrate on driving. You can listen to the music at home.

British Trisha Paytas?

[@Clara-ph7my]

It is really upsetting as you don't mind paying anyone for an honest job and plus you really rely on your vehicle. I have had to get Trading Standards involved before and the mobile mechanic got fined. But his excuse in court "I did it as, I was desperate for money and struggling to pay my bills". If your going to make up a false job for the car in repair, at least repair the original fault properly!

[@reconnaisancesapper]

Rover were crap cars all round. I had a 214 as my first car and no one could pay me to drive one again.

[@reconnaisancesapper]

Some have luck, most don't have it with a Rover. I wouldn't touch them

If you had bought the 216 instead it would have been far more reliable. The 1.6 had the Honda engine. The 1.4 was Rover's own.
