The near side headlamp (xenon) on my wife’s RCZ has stopped working. Is this likely to be a simple bulb change or the ballast control box? peugeot want £133 for a replacement bulb. I can go aftermarket, but assume the colour temperature will be different any thoughts?

Hi I sent you a Peugeot dealers today, who were very helpful, but said it won’t work to hammer a socket on as the slip ring means it will simply turn without loosening

Hi I know this is a long shot, but the wheel nut locking key on my wife’s RCZ has been damaged by nut guns. I am replacing the nuts with standard ones, but there is one locking nut I cannot undo. I live in East Sussex and I wondered if there is anyone local who has a key locknut code: E 7DXO...

Hi We have just moved, but the satnav in our 2011 RCZ can’t find our new address. The house has a name rather than a number, but it can’t even pick up the road. It keeps wanting to tell us we are 6 miles away when we try the postcode Can you programme and more importantly save a home address...

Hi Can anyone please tell me which of the dashboard fuses is ignition controlled as even those which I would expect to be the case including the heated seats are live with no key in the ignition Regards Malcolm

Hi Thanks for the reply. How do I reset the sat nav?
