Yes 40 series with 245 on the rear plus it protects the rims from kerbing...not me the Mrs honestly....😉...To date no warning lights on it... We can all agree the Rcz has a hard ride but my biggest mistake was run flat tyres...they give the hardest ride imaginable....

I'm running 245 on the rear with no issues...235 on the front though

All sorted and passed mot….labour rate £120 for changing two springs so happy (y)

Dreaded Mot time…..and yes it failed on snapped rear N/S Side coil spring…( With the potholes I’m not surprised )….. it’s fitted with lower springs so can’t even buy 1 has to be a pair….Saying that I’ve been advised best to change them in pairs…. So as I’m supplying the parts what your guesses...

I just disconnected the plug from the sensor….its not ideal but stopped the warning light coming on even though it’s a brand new genuine sensor…. :unsure:

Hi guys….Ok finally got to the bottom of this it turned out to be D Bushes on rear axel…..totally transformed the way the car handles and sounds….eg No more knocking noises underneath……They probably been on there since new 2013…. :cry:

For me originality is key…..but all down to personal choice (y)

Mine does the same….sometimes every day other times maybe once a month These Rcz like their warning lights…..:cry:

Did you get to the bottom of this?…… I’ve had this problem for nearly a year I’ve had new top mounts drop links ball joints track rod ends….still the same:mad: im now thinking it might be an engine mounting…even though they look ok I’ve heard the rubber can dry out and cause knocking...

Hi guys….. Ok as above heading knocking noise from front passenger side sounds like ball joint drop link etc….but I’ve had these all changed along with suspension top plates and track rods…. Any you guys had similar issues?….Ive read past comments that engine mounts can dry out on the rubber...

The sensor I put a photo up of is just a link off eBay….Some of the cheap ones have poor reliability issues… Regarding sensors I tend to go with main dealer or Febi products etc….

Is that any help…

I changed mine roughly 3 months ago and didn’t do any of the 3min rule and had no problems since…. The circuit board thingy on the edge of the battery was a sod to get off but bit of persistent wedging up with screwdriver got it loose …..(y)

Mine gets warm but only after driving roughly 20mins ( My old Renault megane is warm after 5mins )….. Going by past forums the Matrix is not the best on them maybe a new one will sort it and follow Pedros advice on bleeding the system the right way…. 🤞
