Want to Buy A New 75 Again

og-soulja · 20th July 2018, 07:39

Hello Everyone,
I sold my old 75 1.5 years ago and bought 2016 Seat Ibiza.
These cars are completely different and i missed my 75 again because of its comfort.
Looking for Rover 75 or Jaguar X-Type, but I am so confused nowadays and haven't decided yet.
Could you help me on this decision?

Also my old 75 was 1.8 non-turbo and i have seen head gasket failure couple of times. So which engine is more durable?

1.8 non-turbo,
1.8 turbo
2.0
2.5

Looking for your advices.
Thanks,
Huseyin.

I have had my 1.8 non turbo for 6 years now & no problems with simple checks, ie:- coolant level coolant fan working & I always use the OBD temperature gauge

I have a Rover 75 CDTi great car to drive, leather seats all the extras i love it, so i would recommend the CDTi Connoisseur

V6 2.5 Connoisseur Cowley built (1999-2000: real burr walnut & extreme quality leather) are very reliable but 2 downsides: 'a little' more thirsty than the others and the belts changing comes at a price every 6 years.
Beyond that they are a blessing to drive!

Durable ? The diesel.

In your climate it would only be the diesel or the 2.5 for me.
