    RCZ firm ride, a possible solution avoiding new suspension

    The ride in a Peugeot RCZ, was for me very firm and that is how it should be to provide the handling characteristics the RCZ is favoured for. But for me, well north of 70 yrs, the ride was a little too firm. So I had cushions custom made for my RCZ, constructed with several inches of good...

    newbie question

    Hi, your intention to purchase a RCZ caught my attention, for I am considering selling my immaculate RCZ. I love it but being over 70,the firm ride does not agree with my back ache. If you are interested feel free to call on 07554 795162. Joe

    Head gasket

    Hi All, the mention above of specialist Peugeot servicing providers, leads me to ask. Does anybody know of a specialist garage that provides maintenance for Peugeot’s, or even better if they look after Peugeot RCZs. I live on Shropshire but will happily travel to get the services of an RCZ...

    Vibrating internal rear view mirror

    A final word on the vibrating mirror. Despite my cautious efforts the vibration persisted, so I tried once more and this time, right now, the internal mirror is vibration free. I read a BMW post from the us, where a similar problem was tackled using thin felt. In that case the mirror was...

    Vibrating internal rear view mirror

    Thanks for the reply with your experiences of dismantling the internal mirror. I will not attempt to remove the mirror from the wind screen, too risky for me. I might try to ease the front rim back a little to see if I can lubricate the joint in the hope of easing the vibration squeak, but...

    Vibrating internal rear view mirror

    Much appreciate the response with diagram from the service book. I May well have to just go at it and see if the mirror will separate. So far I have tried lubricating the join with spray-on dry lub and then stretching an elastic band into the joint as a separator. This worked but not...

    Vibrating internal rear view mirror

    Thanks for the replies. I wonder if I have confusEd. I do not wish to take the whole mirror out of the car, instead I wish to dismantle the mirror in place by taking the front surround plastic rim off, in the hope of insulating this front rim from the main mirror housing, as it appears to rub...

    Vibrating internal rear view mirror

    Hi Rcz experts. I have a 2012 peugeot RCZ with the 1.6 petrol engine. I need some advice regarding a squeaking internal rear view mirror. On uneven road surfaces and also when the engine revs hit 1500 to 2000 this mirror squeaks and vibrates. If I squeeze the mirror surround the vibration...
