    Damper/Shock life expectancy.

    You will love this thread from the Aussiefrogs forum. I asked about life expectancy for shocks on my 2008 207cc Sport THP150. 95,000 miles. Still in pristine condition. The only missing element is the shocks, as all other items like turbo, clutch, steering rack, ABS Pump, Timing chain, all...

    Aussie Diamonds to rule . . .

    Those that love Netball, are in for a treat this weekend in the UK. Aussie Diamonds vs England Roses vs New Zealand Silverferns vs South Africa Proteas. Hubba bubba. I enjoy this sport, not only because my wife played it for years in Oz, but the EC? :evil: England team members Jo Harten...

    Damper/Shock life expectancy.

    I have read that, because us humans get used to things, i.e. adapt, then as shocks gradually degenerate, we don't notice the gradual decline. However, we are all different, so some may sense it whilst others may not. I've also read that some folks, after getting shocks replaced, find their car...

    Dangers in Jacking up RCZ

    Thanks for the info. Oz Pug RCZ's have scissor jacks in the boot, but for a hydraulic jack, this piece of kit would do the trick. Would it not? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2pcs-Slotte ... 2749.l2649 Cheers.

    Damper/Shock life expectancy.

    My Pug mechanic told me that Pug shocks are long lasting items. Now done 95K miles in my 207cc Sport and all seems tight, but over the last ten years I can't recall what they were like when new. They must break down over time, like all items that have friction. Some experts say replacement is...

    Damper/Shock life expectancy.

    I don't even think an RCZ has been in the outback. Even so, I won't be chasing Roger, that's for sure. Check Roger out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFCvPrzj4BU Cheers.

    Australian RCZ's

    Seeing this is an Aussie thread, I hope ya' all like this. I also am a NISSAN fan, owning a rare Nissan Pulsar (Sunny in the UK) N14 SSS SR20DE engine, and Australian made. Had it since brand new in 1992. 140,000 kilometres thus far in 27 years! SO: I actually watched this race live on...

    Close to purchase assistance !

    Quote: Locking wheel bolts and keys are crap, if standard. Bin them and fit 4x standard wheel bolts. I agree. Wait until some dill 'rattle-guns' the locking bolts on. You'll most likely never get them off and break them trying. Same happened to me on my 207cc Sport.

    Australian RCZ's

    Thanks. I stand corrected. So, only one THP200 Mk II for sale in Oz at the moment. And only one RCZ-R. I know the Prince engine quite well, having owned and will keep, my 207cc Sport THP150. GTi running gear. And Peugeot did a great job on the new roof, after the 206, and the chassis bracing...

    Australian RCZ's

    Australian RCZ’s... Aussie, Aussie, Aussie . . . oi, oi, oi. Peugeot exported only three versions of the RCZ to Australia. (not counting the RCZ-R, of which a few were sold.) RCZ GT 150THP Auto RCZ GT Diesel Auto - which didn't sell. Aussies have always been petrol heads. Diesel sales have...

    I am not happy, in fact very shocked.

    Service dealerships! I loathe them. I attempt all mechanical repairs myself and especially service items. Things like timing chain, clutch replacement I farm out to a professional. I have a Nissan Maxima 250-STL, with Nissan's sweet spinning VQ25DE V6 engine. Had the lux ride for five years...
