Thanks. Doesn't seem too bad. I might try my local for the next service. They're literally 5 minutes walk from home. Saves my laying on my back 😄 My plugs are due in around 20k.

How are you finding the servicing costs at a dealer for the GT86? I have a 2013, and apart from a recall job its never been to my local main dealer for servicing. I've done the last 2 myself as my mechanic has recently retired.

I can't remember 100% the door switch arrangement on the RCZ, but it could be worth investigating that. Stuck/stiff/dirty contact/broken, you get the drift. Or, you could try the famous Peugeot panacea, a BSI reset. That's fixed many an odd issue in the past.

Take the engine out? I can't see why, that wasn't mentioned at the time I enquired.

If I'd kept my RCZ I was planning on having a walnut blast done. Apparently the local MINI dealer did a decent job of it. I think at the time I was quoted around £300/£350. Our local Peugeot dealer, who has subsequently lost the franchise was rather useless. Ok for ordering parts, 99% of the time.

From memory there is a pump that cools the turbo down that runs for a while after you turn the engine off.

The petrol uses a timing chain. As stated, all autos are 156 1.6 THP petrol.

Mine was a bit hit and miss when I first got it. I gave the mechanism a good clean and used some silicone lubricant on it. Seemed happy after that.

Well thank you for your suggestion. I think maybe you need to moderate yours. Or at least lay off the coffee/get more sleep. I wasn't aware that being a mechanic was a mandatory part of being on a forum. Besides the word forum means "a meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular...

Depending on how much you love the car, I'd be looking at that and thinking it was skip time.

I can't see why it won't. The supplied dimensions tally up with some other ones I found. QR4154S Quinton Hazzell 381794 is the Peugeot number.

Charcoal canister? Fuel vapour evaporation thing* *technical term.

My NG4 used to play music on a stick from the arm rest USB fine, I carried the same stick, a Sandisk Cruzer fit, on to my current car.

I had a petrol RCZ and the dipstick was very difficult to read. Be careful not to overfill it. You can damage things, or at the least foul the spark plugs. Also, unless you're au fait with servicing, you're not going to get the excess out. I'd do my utmost to read the level correctly before...

I'm guessing it assumes you're braking. So kicks the CC off. Exactly the same in the 407, I had them fail in both of mine. No cruise and permanently lit brake lights. On the 407 it's mounted on the brake bar (because r/h drive) under the passenger side of the dash. Great fun.

I put an Ulter sport on my MK1, it was ok. I can't see why it wouldn't fit a mk2. I did have factory quads, so it was easy to fit. No bumper trimming, or whatever you need to do.

From memory, it isn't a bulb. Also, the DRL on the mk1 is a twin filament, I think. Shared with the sidelights. So I guess if you have one or the other out, it's a bulb issue. Hopefully.

Is the cable tie a cable tie or is it a connector with a ribbed "plug" base that would be pushed in to something else. To keep the part tethered. Like maybe the nearby intake pipe? From a couple of the pictures it looks like that. I had a 200 but that was over 2 years ago, so I can't remember...

They fail on 407s. Ask me how I know.
