Hi all, so after getting a coolant leak that got worse and worse (thermostat housing cracked), I finally found the time to do the work myself. I bought a new thermostat and housing, and the crossover pipe and after having to remove half the engine, I finally got the new parts fitted and added...

Hi all, I was thinking of fitting some LED DRL light strips to the headlights and update the look, but was a bit hesitant to pull the headlight apart and mess about so I went looking for some headlights already customized and found these on Aliexpress. Any thoughts on these? I think they cost...

Hi all, I've seen a few RCZ's with an aftermarket front splitter and can't figure out which one it is. I've already ordered a "universal" type off Amazon and no big surprise, it doesn't fit. I've scrolled through pages of front splitters on Ebay and Amazon but can't find this exact one, does...

Hi all, I wanted to put in one of those under seat subwoofers, so I have to deal with the dreaded JBL amplifier. The plan is to connect it like so: Place subwoofer under driver's seat. Run yellow wire from subwoofer to the battery for power. Using spk connection method (not RCA), tap into the...

Hi All, was thinking of getting this front splitter off Amazon, I know it's a chinese special but they have it on a Peugeot 308 as an example, looks pretty good. Has anyone got a front splitter like this? Any issues with it? It comes in three main pieces as you can see from the pic, I assume it...

Hi all, ended up getting a crack in one of the stock Peugeot wheels and needed to find a replacement because I'd slowly lose air to the point I'd have to pump it back up every day first thing in the morning...I know it was a slim chance but I tried for a few months to find a used replacement but...

Hi all, so when I first got this THP156 RCZ, the aircon had a horrid smell especially when you first turn it on. So first thing I did was change the cabin filter which was definitely long overdue. However the smell persists. Thinking of using one of those aircon sprays through the system to...

Decided to do some eyelids up, have made a template and settled on the shape, next step is to find some good quality gloss black wrap... Depending how the finished product looks, if I'm not happy enough with it, then I'll remove them and progress to opening the headlights up and getting the...

Hi all, I've noticed a sections in the boot that look like they are missing some tools but no idea what they would be, does anyone know what is missing or have a photo of their own boot with those items present?

Hi all, so I went ahead and bought an Xtrons android touchscreen head unit, it looked good in promotional pictures but one thing that stood out before I bought it was that no sellers have photos of the unit actually in a vehicle. The only pics they have are photoshopped and from a direct front...

Hi all, I've noticed a strange smell coming from the vents that is strongest when the car is first started. I have replaced the cabin filter so was looking around trying to figure out what could contribute to it. Now, when I changed the cabin filter, I noticed in the engine bay a pipe that...

Not sure if this has already been posted, I couldn't find it here, but I found this great write up from a place called Etuners who are based in Greece. They have written up some great info regarding servicing and maintenance based on their experience with the 1.6 THP engine...

I want to remove the aircon vents and I've done some googling and also seen a video on Youtube that shows how, but in that video, you have to remove a bunch of interior pieces so you can get behind the vents and push while unlocking the tabs with a small flat head screwdriver. However, in the...

Update: Have added eyelids, painted calipers red, added dark window tint and new wheels. Going to get arches hopefully wrapped soon if I can find someone that knows what they're doing lol

Well well, looks like the dealer may have been getting creative as I've just noticed the seat emblems are in different spots. So after doing some digging, I've found that my car has one original seat, and the other is from a Mk.2. After comparing Mk.1 seats which have the logo about midway up...

Hi all, I've been unable to find the answer in the forum search so deferring to the experts again! I don't like the faded look of the front emblem/badge area and I want to separate the lion from the black background so I can do a proper renew job, is the emblem just stuck on with really good...

Hi all, I've just taken delivery of a 2011 (1.6T auto, non-satnav) which I've posted about in the 'Newbies' section however, after a few days of travelling I now have some interesting quirks show up and wondered if they are common or not. So we took this on a 10hr round trip and two strange...

Greetings all, finally joined the RCZ flock and got a 2011 Auto (non-satnav). Been going over the car with a fine tooth comb and making a list of all the little tweaks we want to do. Other than that, very happy with this low kay example with full service history and bought from an official...

Bit of a story here...I've been looking for an RCZ for a few weeks, really absorbing everything about them, what quirks and features they have, the possible issues etc. I focused on one in particular that was priced reasonably low and looked ok on the face of it. The one thing that stood out...
