Hi all. I'm new here and am going to look at a 2011 RCZ Hdi on Friday. I know, its the devil's fuel, but I need the economy. Can you give me any things in particular that I need to check please? It's at Robins and Day in Romford, Essex. So will come with a year warranty. But I like to be as armed with as much knowledge as possible when car shopping.
Thank you in advance.
Cheers
James.

Hi James
Service history, and two keys, check the middle brake light to see if any LEDs are out as new units are £200, also the jacking points see if there's any damage as they tend to get bent flat by those who don't use the correct Jack's and damage these, also check the dipstick to see if the end tip is not missing... Hope this helps you out.
Drive safe and stay lucky 🍀

Don’t just look at it & think “that looks amazing” & buy it anyway. They all look amazing, but there are a few lemons out there so make sure it’s as good as it can be before parting with your hard earned 👍

Cheers guys. Much appreciated. Also, would it be worth getting it remapped? I am looking at the diesel version....

I have a Hdi and so does the wife and the 3rd gear is a wow factor and pulling power is unlikely to disappoint you. As for remaining I have been told by a company that specialises in it they said they would easily increase the 163 to 180bhp but I have left our RCZs as they are as very happy all round... But its up to the individual to do what works for them....
