I bought the part on Aliexpress. Worked fine.

I had the same issue. Solved by replacing the circuit board on the battery protection module. It’s quite an easy DIY job.

Great work mate! Funnily enough, going through my second hand RCZ service history, I found an alternator had been replaced under warranty. No doubt chasing a solution to the same problem. Shortly after buying mine I had the dreaded light come up. Thanks to forums like this I found the solution...

I had mine re-gassed recently. The air con is not great in mine I'm afraid. I find the best way is to turn the temp to minimum and turn on the aircon button and the fan manually. I don't use the auto button. Make sure if they re-gas it, they put in dye so they can find the leak (if any).

I was told by someone (who reckons they know) that there were 32 R's imported to Oz. I have one too! A rare white one. Great cars. BTW, there's a guy here in Melbourne with a stash of wrecked RCZ's so he would be great if you need parts. Message me if you want his number. The biggest problem for...

FYI, there's a guy here in Melbourne who re-builds them. Fixed mine!!! Let me know if you want his contact details.

That’s where mine split. Repaired no problem.

Mine had a split on the side up near the head rest. A motor trimer can fix that no problem.

OEM is a satin/matt finish. Not glossy. They must have been refurbished. Have you got a spare set?

I was told to rev it to 5000 RPM for 20 seconds, lift off quickly, let car return to idle. If it runs rough, HPFP on the way out. I will try your idea because I got a fault code for HPFP, but the car is running fine and the light has gone off since the code was cleared.

Probably best to try a wrecker. A couple of R’s were written off years ago in Melbourne.

Check the electrical section of the forum. Some ideas are there.

Your battery could be dead if it discharged too much. No amount of charging will bring it back if that is what's happened.

Can you get someone to clear the codes?

How much is the seller asking for the white R above?
