To make a long story short, I love the Rover 620 TI. I had one some years ago, and it's the best car I've ever had. Besides the crabs og course:-)
Yesterday one came up for sale locally. A 1999, Ridiculously cheap, with current Norwegian form for MOT and tax. It had been a daily driver until recently, when it suffered charging issues. Went to have a look today, and I just had to buy it! It is rust free, even the rear wheel arces are spotless. There are no dents and the interior is close to immaculate. Everything works, even all the electrics! The engine was sweet, apart from a blow from the rear exhaust section, and quick and responsive and the gearbox was fine too!
So, all I have to do is fix the charging issue. I suspect the alternator. Funny thing is the charging light does not come on, not when switching the ignition on and not when driving. The battery is then drained rapidly while driving. After taking it for a test drive, the battery showed 10 Volts at idle, and it does not change when revving. So i't not charging at all.Any ideas?
Looking forward to fix it and use it as a daily driver as I'm fed up with the Peugeot:-)
