Yes....in a performance car, I put an SMF in my GTV V6 and have one in my VX220...the lightened SMF totally transformed the driveability and performance of both of the cars for the better. The SMF advantages for me far outweighs any minor negatives..the DMF began to fail in my R at circa...
Down to 6 R's on AT, guessing yours went then Claret63. A sigh of relief or heavy heart? As said before just renewed my Pug Warranty for the final year to sell the car next Spring......
£10K!!!! Chap on here sourced a Peugeot OE supplied new/recon engine few years back for his R for around half that I seem to remember......surely it makes no sense paying £10K for an engine in an RCZ? Ebay has a load of used engines for circa £1000 find a good one and fitted for £1500-2000.
These cars are a 'mare.....thankfully mine are tip top.....my car is parked in a dark garage only used on Spring/Summer days so no headlight use just the DRLs! The quality of modern car parts is a joke tbh....as is the fact that the Xenon's are not covered by the Warranty imo.
My older cars...
Yes I think the private used market is currently a tad depressed.
I am looking for an MR2 as a project/bit of fun given a lot of Owner's bail out of ownership at the onset of Winter, private sale as the Trade are living in cuckoo land with their pricing.
I am liking small low(er) powered low...
Any interest for your R, be interested to know what the demand is like?
I am looking for an MR2 at the moment and obviously being a roadster there are many starting to come on the market..some hanging about, dealers asking stupid money as usual, private more realistic prices; market seems...
Just for context on prices; a chap on a Lotus Forum I am on has posted about his 5 month old Emira, several thousand miles, mint...cannot drive the manual box due to injury needs an auto.......been given a £63k PX value against a new £148K car at a Lotus dealership! Robbers!
What have you had to replace on the car? What's the history of the car/mileage?
I'm used to firm cars as I have older ones...consider the R to be quite well damped really...
I have paid nothing on mine apart from servicing (just rear calipers as couldnt be arsed with a Warranty claim hassle...
Cool. New one on eBay is £400 same from Peugeot Parts on internet.......I reckon they will come up on ebay fairly often,,,,,good idea,,,,could try the tint for windows too would look ok I reckon! There are LED repair kits and a chap on ebay who does the brake lights (or was) he may be able to...
whole unit I am sure and new prices are eye watering, get on eBay....NS one for 125 quid. OS sold earlier this evening for £100!!
search on here sure I read someone had to replace theirs
I swopped to an Indie for my R last year. All work invoiced and receipts for parts and fluids which I obtained (OE filter, Total oils etc; the garage/Tech does not have to VAT registered for Pug Warranty) very happy with the work undertaken, had the full works for about a third of MD prices.
went out for a dusk drive last night in the R, thinking what JayEmm stated about his drive; beginning to think the example he drove may have issues especially with performance and turbo response (not that you drive a turbo charged car in low revs and plant your foot....like he did, as a test of...
