SWMBO has a 60 plate C3 Citroen 1600 petrol that has what I've been led to believe is a Mini engine. If it's the same, the water pump is only part time drive by the 'fan belt'. Never had any over heating issues though Citroen did a mod on the temp sensor because the car THOUGHT they were overheating & lit the dash up like a Christmas tree when it did. (doesn't have a temp gauge so who would know until it was too late?

Sure, but hot day and engine hot when you stop it, oil pressure is zero but coolant not, that was my fear...

Notorious for water pump failure.
If you remove the front to do work replace the water pump is the philosophy, from what I've heard. |

Just had to renew Household insurance..
Tesco wanted £350 to renew up by 50%  ,, so with a bit of confusion.com, it cost £160,, and a free £20.00 Halfords voucher and a free coffee ever month. Phoned Tesco to cancel, didn't even try to ask why, or offer a different price. |

not enough pressure in the cooling system to push into the oil TBH 15psi water and oil should be 50 + psi

Changed Oil Cooler to daughter's Astra J. It had "Black Ring" in top of expansion tank a long time. Heard that engine A16XER is famous of this kind of problems. That car was/is also losing coolant, not much but losing, hopefully not to oil side. Let's see if that still continues. I did not like the cooler construction; six pc. of O-rings which can leak coolant out. If there is internal leak 'Oil to Coolant' it might perhaps be possible that also coolant can go to oil?

Car park dings wouldn't be a problem.Whilst it's probably better fuel economy wise than an Omega ,  I doubt I it could take the country lane corners well at 50 mph ,I'd probably end up ploughing fields  and I'm NOT a farmer , so ......"that's a NO from me and I'm out " |
