Although My original Review was Positive, Please read on. For 8 and a half years I had a Dependable Reliable Little Nissan Micra unfortunately the Gearbox Failed. So I thought it was a great Idea to go to Tallington Car Sales to See what they have available. On the Forecourt was this Lovely Low Mileage Rover 45 (28k when Brought), It was looking so pristine sat there. So I decided to buy, All was going well for around 5 weeks. First issue. It started leaking Coolant. Inlet Manifold replaced. All was OK that was until I was reversing out of a car parking Space around 4 weeks later and the Gearbox started to Jam. Only way you could get it out of Reverse was to Switch the whole car off and then take out of gear before turning the Engine back on again. So At Great Expense, Had the Clutch replaced. All was OK for another 5 days until It totally gave Up, This time Slave Cylinder was replaced. In-between it also required a Coolant sensor, 2 new tyres. So the whole time, It also had an issue where It was quite rough on tickover, Many People, Many hours have attempted to Try and Find out what is going on with it. Recently, It was discovered that the Cylinder head is absolutely shot, Timing was out by one tooth, And One Cylinder is running on low Compression. So now I am Looking to get rid of this car as soon as possible unfortunately as I really can not spend much more money fixing stuff on it. It's a Shame, If looks could decive this certainly has been one of those cars, I have owned it 13 months and just covered 7,000 miles in it. So my advice is Do not go here for a Car I have unfortunately learnt that the Hard way. Not sure where they are getting these cars from. But that Poor Rover is unfortunately that I brought, Is going to be Sold on, Hopefully to someone that will bring it back to health. In short, Tallington should of never of sold that car possibly knowing the Faults it had. It also used to randomly cut out and sometimes on roundabouts which is frankly dangerous. (Picture taken when the Clutch failed, Had to get it recovered) As of 25/03/2023 This car still shows up on tallingtons website Around 1,000 I had to spend trying to keep it going too. Not happy at all. To who ever reads this think very carefully before buying a car from here in future.
