G'day,Colleague of mine has a Rover 25, 1.4, 1996 model. It will start anddrive fine for 20-30 minutes then chug, sputter and finally cut out andit will not restart for approx. 30 minutes. Then, on restarting itrepeats the same cycle.The recovery guy that picked it up off the side of the road said itcould be the cat. (blocking up???). To me, it sounds like a failingignition coil.Before she spends a pile of cash at a garage - anyone here got anopinion of the above or know of common issues on the Rover that mightcause this problem.TIASean
