    Hi from Aussie...

    Another Aussie here too :) I'm really sorry to hear of your ownership experience to date and can't imagine how frustrating they must be and how disillusioned you must feel about your RCZ. As an owner of 3 RCZ's (2 in Melbourne and 1 in Brisbane) I've never once had even one of the problems...

    Pristine 2011 RCZ (with just 22,000klms) for Sale in Melbourne by Forum member

    Hello to my fellow Australian thread members. After enduring the world's longest covid lockdown and restrictions in Melbourne, I am moving back to my hometown of Brisbane as soon as the Queensland border restrictions lift on December 17th 2021 to take up a new work position. With 2 x RCZ's and...

    G’Day from Sydney, Australia.

    Yes welcome Henchan81 ... from down here in cold Melbourne to all the way up there in beautiful Sydney. I remember remarking in a previous post how few RCZ's one sees on Australian roads so agree with your observations. I also have 308CC in my stable so appreciate your passion for other Pug...

    Induction kit

    I agree with "Flanner's" advice Scotty ... enjoy the 200HP for what it offers ... You can optimise your car's performance simply through disciplined servicing, slightly higher tyre pressures, using the best quality fuels, etc etc. Performance tuning ultimately becomes a curse ... one...

    Carbon fibre roof

    In Australia the carbon fibre roof variants came with black onyx wheels and black mirrors (but not carbon fibre covered mirrors). I owned this particular 2012 variant for several years but sold it last year with just 22,000 klms on the clock to an Adelaide based Peugeot enthusiast (who just...

    Rear spoiler not activating

    That's a fascinating insight Neville ... the mystery deepens ... It almost appears as though the spoiler function was random ... you either got one where it operated automatically or you didn't ... I'll have to speak with my contacts at Peugeot about this and get to the bottom of what happened...

    A glut of Rs

    There's never any honour lost in paying more for the right car - and especially if it's an R !!! Well done Kiddy ... I know your lad and yourself will relish your decision every time the car is driven ... they're a very special bit of kit !! Oh and welcome to the Forum - I'm only a week in...

    Genuine Leather or Not on the dashboard and door?

    Yes I agree with DKZ5745 The "standard" models (eg: where real leather was not specified) are all faux leather on the dash and door tops etc and are stitched to trick our minds even further into believing its real leather. Think of it as as the MBTex of Peugeot .... remember Mercedes MBTex...

    Chrome gear knob

    Definitely worth the upgrade from the basic manual gear shift knob to the R or GTi version whatever the cost - they are in my opinion like so many aspects of the RCZ (eg: the positive air vents on the rear parcel shelf) are a design triumph. It's worth noting they're not chrome but a single...

    Front silver badge arc damage, how to repair?

    Yes our learned Moderator is spot on - you have to remove the entire front clip to get to the front Peugeot badge ... strange but true ... its just the way they were put together. Plenty of spare badge assemblies available via eBay. Hope it goes well 👍

    Cabin air exit vents/Ehaust smell in cabin!

    As all my learned fellow RCZ enthusiasts have indicated above there could be many reasons causing the issue you have raised ... it's certainly not a issue I would leave unresolved for too long ... exhaust fumes in the cabin (be they petrol or diesel) are extremely dangerous and your safety must...

    Timing chain cost

    AUD$1350 (you'll have to convert it to GBP) done by Peugeot - outstanding job - same day completion - don't risk it with a service centre that hasn't done them - there's a few crucial tricks to the tasks so it's worth keeping the parts genuine and using a Peugeot experienced mechanic. Don't...

    New owner car smells

    Hello Annette, Our noses are an important life safety feature and we must trust them ... if the smell is as you say a "terrible acid smell" I wouldn't be hypothesising ... take it straight to a trusted service centre and solve the issue ... your safety is far more important ... acidic smells are...
