Dear Rover Engineers,
I can't believe I have to write you again so soon, for since December I have replaced all the wheel bearings, all the brakes and wheel cylinders, the shocks, the exhaust manifold, the generator, the battery, the tires, the transmission, the clutch, slave cylinder and pressure plate. This is not all your fault, mind you. The previous owner didn't do any maintenance at all.
I thought I might actually get to drive it. But no. A week later the rear axle broke, and now the master clutch cylinder will not pump up at all. I think I tore my hamstring pumping the clutch pedal so fast that my leg was a blur. I couldn't stop and I actually took flight and buzzed around the interior of the truck until I smashed into the fire extinguisher. The medical bill is in the mail.
So here is my complaint. Are you serious? I have to remove the fender "er...wing" to yank the cylinder and put a kit on it. Really? Well that, sirs, is a design feature that is unique to Rovers, and cars made in Kazakhstan. Since they don't make cars in Kazakhstan I suppose we can call it a "Uniquely Rover design feature."
Thank you, Rover Engineers. Job well done is not what I would say about the clutch master cylinder wing removal required debacle.
