So, 2 months in and I must have done maybe 100.miles in it. Aberdeenshire winters not ideal and why bother when I have the outback. Thoughts so far... Utterly paranoid about cold starts! Is it noisy, or is that the norm. No idea. Haven't driven it hard at all. But I'm beyond that these days...

Most kind. Thank you. I'm from an era where you check the tyres, not rely on electronic rubbish so I find this kind of thing a pain in the rear!

Thanks for that. 2 seven mile runs since pumping it up with no joy so looks like it's replacement time. Or it will be once the weather improves...

Hi all. Had a search but does the tpms recognise when tyre reinflated or is there a reset process? Mine keeps showing deflated front right. Was at 31 psi so put it to 35 but light still on. 15 plate so perhaps battery gone on it but before changing it just wondering if any magic tricks to...

Without wishing to be contrary, I disagree with the comment about nothing to do with wheels and tyres and low centre of gravity. Put on 18s and your tyre sidewall will be taller and more compliant and reduce the harshness. Obviously it is designed with handling over comfort but it's the tyres...

Can't comment on the rcz but I bought a 1993 Merc sl500 some years back. It came on 18" AMG wheels. It was horrid. Tramlined, jiggly, nothing to recommend other than looks. Swapped them to 17s and the car was transformed.

Thanks for that. I'm not being overly precious with it but zero point running it in icy weather. It will be out again if we see positive temps!

Just put the negative to an earthing point in the engine bay.....

OK, just been out to put on the trickle charger. And the battery is buried underneath plastic.... Crap. Positive terminal has an access flap. Don't want to break anything so any hints how to access the negative... Or get that plastic cover off? I know it should be easy but... Thanks for...

Oooops. Thought I'd mix it up and show you monochrome folk what you're missing! Apologies

My recent buy...

Embrace your cloth seats. Leather not all it's cracked up to be. Cold in winter before the heater warms them, hot in summer.

Don't bother with Halfords or kwik fit. Try to find a peugeot specialist near you. Personally I wouldnt trust a main dealer either but that's me

Given its minus 7 tonight and the high temps during the next couple of days, mine is going nowhere. Ran it up to temp this eve. Started on the button and no nasty noises so that was good. Wasn't expecting it really but given some stories take nothing for granted. Does look good sitting there.

With you on that. I've been spoiled by a number of Subaru 3.0 Legacy and Outbacks over the past 12 years and other than the usual consumables all any have needed is wheelbearings and sticky boot handles oiled up. So getting the rcz is back to actually keeping very close attention as to what may...

Oh I care. I'm far too anal for my own peace of mind. And agree ref the seals and air con. It's what I'd usually do with any car that's put away for winter but was just keen to get views given the apparent all too eagerness of the thp to self destruct at any given opportunity.

Was waiting for that opposing view! And I get it. Hence the query in the first place.. With you on the handbrake and have the pingus.

Only just got the thing. Last oil done 2k miles ago by Peugeot so have to presume the correct stuff. Been reading the various oil threads with interest.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, trickle charger at the ready. I'd rather not have it sitting idle for more than a few days but makes no sense taking it in minus temps when the outback there. I'm inclined to do the weekly start and up to temp as you say. I've had other cars left over winter and...

Winter has started up here in Aberdeenshire. My recently bought rcz in the garage. Not particularly wanting to lay it up but we're heading into ice, sleet and snow time so no point using it when my Subaru Outback is more suited to the conditions. My question is given the rather fragile nature...
