This is my first post so apologize if this is a duplicative thread. On the verge of pulling the trigger for an 03 Series II SE7. While it's bit high in the miles (67k) it's got the unlimited warranty ('til 100k). Having a 94 NAS ST know all too well how expensive repairs can be for Rovers, so the latter is key.
Guess what I'd like to know is there anything peculiar about the 03's I need to know before buying? With the Defenders you basically know when everything is about to go -- my alternator, starter, water pump, radiator basically all died together.
The truck I'm looking at appears to be bone stock, and the only thing that's been replaced (according to owner and the maintenance records) is the power steering reservoir. Other than that it's had the basic maintenance but none of the hardware is shot. Also noticed during the test drive I really had to come down hard on the brakes, but there's no pulling so wonder if that's just how these things stop?
Any advice you guys might have would be great, TM
