Hi,
What is the typical life for a set of piston rings in the 12v 4.2l engine? I know its a 'how long is a piece of string' question but would be useful to get a few opinions. Mine has 180k on the clock but no service history. It pulls fine and although smokey when I got it that seems to have settled down after half a tank of new diesel.
Also where should the oil level indicator sit- it goes to third mark when engine is cold and then drops to second mark and rise towards the third again when engine is around 2500rpm. Does this sound normal?
going to the BEB as a precautionary measure and wondering is it worth doing the rings as well?
MPG not worked out exactly but got around 240miles for £50 of diesel. 90% was motorway driving at 60-70mph so this makes me think the engine isn't in too bad shape
