Mine was a 1969 Mini 850. I bought it for £400 in 1976 when I passed my test. 3 months later the sub frame snapped & it cost me £480 to have it recovered & a new sub frame fitted. They just don’t make them like that any more.

My dipstick is the same as yours.

The oil in a petrol RCZ goes black very quickly after a service. You must make sure you check the level once a week, more often if the car is in daily use. Don’t wait for the oil light to warn you it needs topping up. It’s too late if that happens. The Prince engine is very susceptible to damage...

I’m just out side with a felt tip putting an R on the back of mine. £25k anyone ?

It would go 10 miles an hour faster & shave a second off 0-60 if that keyring wasn’t in it 😱🤣

Never redlined the revs 😱 It’s an RCZ !! The only time NOT to redline it is when approaching a police car from behind 🚓 Apparently, if you’re taking your driving test in your RCZ and the examiner asks “ why should you change down gears as you approach traffic lights?” The answer they’re...

Unfortunately if it’s the sensor, changing the oil will not solve your problem. Changing the oil (& filter) will do your engine the world of good though. If you still have the low oil warning after the oil change, you will probably need the sensor replacing.

So, you have 18 months to find a new job👍

It doesn’t take long for the oil in the Petrol RCZ to get very black. It’s no indication as to whether it need changing or not. The oil warning light will not indicate when you need an oil change. You need to change the oil at least when the car indicates a service is due, but some members...

It’s not the cheapest repair unfortunately. Probably round the £600 mark. I didn’t have to pay for mine doing as I had a Peugeout Platinum extended warranty at the time. I think the dealer charged the warranty people a lot more than that. Maybe someone who has had theirs done & paid for it...

The dipstick is very reliable, but not always that easy to read, especially after an oil change. The method I use & recommend is to remove dipstick, wipe clean, re insert, remove & hold horizontal. You should see where the oil “sags” which is a good indicator of the level. It is worth noting...

Problem is, with an intermittent misfire, it’s likely that the pump will be putting out the correct fuel pressure some of the time. It’s not that it’s failed, more that it’s failing. I can’t guarantee that replacing it will solve the problem, but I would be surprised if it didn’t.

My first thoughts would be coil pack(s) or HPFP. Your symptoms sound very similar to mine a couple of years ago. I replaced all coil packs & plugs, which seemed to do the trick, but then a very short time later the misfire was back (intermittent). New HPFP & fuel rail under extended warranty...

Almost certainly a sensor fault. I would have thought that might be covered by your warranty as you haven’t had the car that long.

I doubt know specifics for the HDI, but any remap will give you an increase in performance and generally better fuel consumption. On the downside, any alteration of the standard settings can create more strain on engine and other associated parts, braking, suspension etc.

BTW, what the hell have you got on your key ring 😱 you must have pockets like a Kangaroos pouch 🤣

That looks awesome 👍 Where did you get the wheel from Neil ? I’m sure there will be many members who are interested in the details,

Good tyres make soooo much difference to the feel of the car.

There are threads on here about wheel spacers. I don’t have them. Someone will probably be along shortly who has more information about them.
