How do I Know if MC has Chilli Pack

I have just bought an '02 MC from a used car dealer. He stated that the Mini had the chilli pack. But how can I tell? The car doesn't have an alarm, no remote key, no trip computer, but does have 16" alloys, part leather seats. The registration documents don't mention anything about it being a Chilli.

The reason I ask is that my insurance premium went up from £510 to £570 when I told them it was the MC Chilli.

Any help appreciated.

The car should have two keys one with a remote and one without. If it doesn't have a remote key it is missing (and whoever has it has full access to your car). There should also be a plastic emergency key although these are usually lost on second hand cars in my experience.

Chili pack includes: 16" Alloy Wheels, Chrome Line Exterior, Cloth / Leather Upholstery, Front Foglights, Height-adjustable Passenger Seat, Leather steering Wheel, Rear Spoiler, Sports Suspension PLUS, Storage nets behind seats.

As far as I can remember the on board computer wasn't in the Chili pack until later. Sure I paid the extra £100 for mine in 2001. Not 100% on SS+ either but the others are definite.

It was acceptable in the 80's

Thanks for the replies - it looks like it is a Chilli then - it has everything you have mentioned (including storage nets!) and I'm assuming it has sports suspension as it is quite a bumpy ride!

Anyone know how much a new remote key would cost?

Computer came with the Chili Pack from the middle-ish of September 2003.
