I honestly didn’t think the valve would have made such a difference. It’s been excellent actually. It’s supposedly a “lifetime” guarantee with it. There’s bound to be small print 😁 but even at ordinary B road driving where you do tend to stir the gearbox a bit more it actually feels like a...

I put their new version in about a year ago. It’s got the built in solenoid so you just take the old DV valve out and plug the new one in. It definitely made a noticeable difference before I got used to it. Seemed to pull through the gears better and definitely noticed it if you were driving...

I haven’t had any issues. The try and make sure the drain holes around the car are running free. They seem to be ok in the boot area and at the bottom of the windscreen. If there are others to check let me know please. Think there’s a small one at the filler flap. It seems to be ok although I’ve...

I got the chain kit from pug1off. It presumably it’s good coming from them. my car will be back on Monday. There were no issues with it but I just wanted it done now and I’ll maintain oil etc so it should be fine for a good few years to come 🤞🏼

Yeah they are all Chinese made and you are never too sure what you’re getting into. I’m hesitant to buy off the likes of Aliexpress. I’d rather get something from some sort of motor factor or “specialist” some folk seem to have got the rocker covers to work for them. I’m less bothered about...

Hello. I’m going to overhaul the coolant system of my 200 in the spring when the weather turns better. I’ve got a metal crossover pipe I bought a year or so back from ECS tuning in the US and I was digging about looking to see if there was a metal thermostat housing that might work with mine...

If the car is as cherished as all that then the chain will be good for a lot longer than that. As long as the oil situation has been well looked after here will be no issues. there will be very well looked after higher milars than that you maybe shouldn’t sniff at. Might get them cheaper. And...

You’d have thought so. You might lose the “R” logo after a couple of refurbs. I’d just get a sticker for it 🙄 id definitely get a set of wheels new or whatever, while I could. It’s stuff like that you will want down the line for originality. Even if just to be stashed away. Those sort of wheel...

200 has the crossover pipe as well. It f oven gar new thermostat housing new oooes and might need a new crossover then you shouldn’t have any more coolant issues for a while 🫣 the coolant level sensor WILL go. At least they are dirt cheap and easy to swap out. this car has been sold with these...

I bought a used pump for mine intending to learn how to fix it. There’s a few YouTube videos on it but I can’t see which seals to get or what hydraulic fluid is right. So I haven’t had a go yet. I paid £40 for the pump. You can see why they are pretty expensive new. It doesn’t look totally...

I’d have thought so. Anything can be upgraded or changed if needs must. the Alcon’s are brilliant things if you do track the car All the same. If it’s road use only then they aren’t totally necessary. You could alter the brakes and discs. I’ve seen plenty car upgrades. But not many downgraded 😜...

I’ll never know now. I’m happy with mine. I’ve racked up the miles in it and enjoyed every one TBH. there are quicker cars around but I doubt there will be that many faster A-B on the sort of B roads I’m on every day. You’re going to spend pretty heavy money to blow away the 200 in that...

Yeah I forgot about that. Im sure I’ll hey could be changed out for sure matching less fancy if necessary. There ARE other brakes you can stick in the R. Alcons are superb things but for road use possibly OTT. The R is supposedly something you can track and that’s just part of the package. They...

I don’t really mind doing that. I’ve been used to driving around in fairly scarce stuff and it’s part of the fun as far as I’m concerned. It’s not something everyone likes doing though. So fair enough. I’m just treating it as if it’s a classic car that’s getting used and will accept the...

I don’t think Peugeot made money across the board on the RCZ. Ot wasn’t even built by them as it was to be a short run of production. I usually had old Lancias and Alfas and they were quite often a bit of a rake round to get certain bits and pieces for. Mostly body related things. Engine stuff...

I got my bearings out for similar reasons. Could hear the usual dull thrumming at particular speeds. Took it in to be checked by my mechanic. He did the usual rocking and spinning but didn’t see anything amiss. Drove it another week or so and ordered bearings and asked for the fronts to get...

Mine have lasted a couple of years so far after doing similar. Just normal washing and polishing has kept them from oxidising. You do need to get stuck in a bit with a cutting compound probably depending how bad they have got. But I’ll try to avoid wrapping them as long as possible. If ever...

Saw this over the weekend. At least you are handy enough to have got the job done. Bit of a ‘mare all the same.

This on them to fix or return your money in full. You shouldn’t be having to mess around at all. Reject it if they don’t sort it or start dragging their heels over anything

Yeah I knew pug were at the galvanising long before most did. I am probably still just suffering from Italian car syndrome where you tend to horde things you might find useful down the line. Or when someone announces they are breaking a car you’ll end up with a random bonnet or wing just in case...
