    Economy Mode

    Thanks for the replies. Going to try an experiment, see what the current drain is whilst not running - a process of elimination. Also carrying a set of Jump leads at all times. Its a Peugeot after all !

    Economy Mode

    Looking for some information. Sometimes when entering the car - the "Economy Mode Active" message appears in the display when turning on the ignition. Other times it does not. I have a dash cam fitted - but that is powered from the cigarette lighter and I know it turns off a few seconds after...

    Peugeot RCZ front brake wear indicator

    I'm not 100% sure that wear indicators are fixed to the front pads....GSF online parts say "Wear Warning Contact not prepared for wear indicator" The warning light also covers brake fluid level - and if your pads were worn that could well light up (as the fluid level would have dropped to...

    What do you think ?

    Seems a bit on the expensive side, the only genuine Peugeot part will be the belt. None of the fitting will be difficult or require Peugeot tools - even your local Halfords / Quikfit / Garage can do this without any difficulty.

    Driver seat movement

    The fixing bolts are easy to get to - Its a slow process with the electric seats - but should only take a few mins.

    Austrian Grand Prix

    I think I may be about the same age, Loved F1 when they actually raced - with the likes of Ayrton Senna, James Hunt, Niki Lauda. Great racing and great personalities. I'll get my coat !

    Dead battery

    A young man at Halfords did a battery change for me. I thought he was going to need a hammer and chisel to remove the plastic cover from the battery. Took 2 blokes 15 minutes to finally do it. I'm with Cuore Sportive - Watch footy and let someone else do the hard work.

    Snow foam gun

    £60 seems a bit steep. Have you looked at this.... https://www.halfords.com/motoring/car-cleaning/shampoo-polish-wax/demon-shine-demon-foam-with-snow-foam-gun-2-litre Seems to do the same thing - and you get 2 Litres of foam with it.

    Coolant issues

    Put a sheet of cardboard under the engine overnight - check for a slow leak. Then get a pressure test done at a local garage - should cost only a few pounds - and have a close look inside the oil filler cap - look for the dreaded sludge. Hopefully its a simple issue like a damaged hose.

    Hands Free Call Volume

    A trick that works on many systems is to lower the volume when in use, the radio, CD player etc should remain unaffected. Give it a try.

    Newbie from North Wales

    Welcome to another Taffy (although I don't think the name travels that far north) Lovely part of the world you occupy - after driving my RCZ through the Llanberis path I cant wait to get back up there.

    Can you guess what it is yet?

    I'm no expert but here's my tuppence worth: Only happens when warm/hot - maybe the Gearbox oil level is too low or the wrong type. A change of oil should not cost too much so maybe give it a try first. As for a "notchy" gear change - Mine is the same, Peugeot said it was normal for a "sporty"...

    Dartmouth - October 2018

    Only caught a glimpse - but an RCZ with logo's on it at Dartmouth near the lower ferry - and a spoiler. It looked magnificent. I'm sure I saw it on the coast road to Slapton a few days before.

    Heat protection

    Can anyone recommend a well fitting heatshield to place inside the windscreen. Its like an oven in this lovely weather. Many thanks in anticipation. :helpme:

    Tyre wearing through wheel arch liner

    That would happen if you were using oversized tyres - but It looks like 235/40/19 in the picture. Check and make sure there are no spacers fitted on the front wheel - especially if fitted one side only.

    Interior light cluster

    Be careful if you try to remove the rear view mirror. Its a pain to get it back in place correctly. To fit my Dashcam, just to the left of the console - I tucked the wire under the roof lining down behind the A pillar cover, behind the glovebox and into the radio.

    Tyre and wheel question

    I am running 235/40/19 - I wanted to fit 245/40/19 - very little circumference difference. Rears were ok - but the front larger tyres interfered with the wheel arch. Especially on full lock. Useful calculator here...

    stuck ??

    I wonder if the wires leading to the sensor are shorting out. Have a look inside the electrical connector (the bit that plugs on to the sensor) see if there is an obvious "bridge" between the pins.
