I've been looking at Soft99 products for ages, always fancied some but haven't managed to buy any yet.

Calculate it yourself. I usually just fill it up till it clicks, use the tank, then fill it up till it clicks again. I use Fuelly to track my MPG. My 86 is currently averaging about 34 over the +11k miles I've recorded. There is an equation you can use miles/litres used x 4.5 or something...

If you're lucky they come up on eBay for sensible money. I put a 5008 one in mine, easy to swap the faceplates. You will need equipment to VIN code the new unit though, they aren't plug and play.

Maybe an issue with pressure in the system? Too high maybe and cutting a switch? I think compressors run from engine speed, so I assume the higher the engine speed the higher the output from the AC compressor. Though I could be wrong. Unlikely but there's a slim possibility 😆

There's probably nothing wrong with the engine side of things, but if I'd just bought something and 2 days later it started misbehaving it would be going back to be fixed.

If it's literally straight out off the forecourt don't touch it. Call them. get them to send a truck to pick it up. If there is a problem with the lubrication system you will kill it by driving it. And we all know the wind only has to be coming from the wrong direction for the petrol to need...

Mine was a grand at Scunthorpe Peugeot. Luckily I had the money, because they "had never dealt" with the warranty company I'd used. So I had to pay and claim it back.

There is that. I actually used to use one a few miles up the road, but always got a courtesy car so no problem.

Last time I had a battery changed (in fact the last 2 occasions) I just went to my local Peugeot dealer. I think they charged £80 to supply and fit a battery to my RCZ and previously, 508 GT. Swapping a battery is easy, when you can get to it! A bonus is you don't need to find somewhere to get...

For a full replacement? £235? Cheapest I've seen is around the mid £600's. Also, a warranty company only covering £145 of work? I think they're best avoided then.

I wasn't being disparaging, I was pointing out OE parts for RCZs fetch more than for my current car. I'd imagine mainly because you're kind of expected to be modifying the 86. So OE parts are sold to fund aftermarket parts, or because they're sat in a garage taking up space. For example in my...

My 407 GT had a similar interior. Just a darker, more Ox blood red.

Goes to show the disparity in prices of various cars. You regularly see stock 86 wheels going, with tyres, for sub £200. There was a refurbished set, in black with Primacys on the forum for £175 yesterday. 19" I think, usually 235 40 tyres. Same wheels I had on mine, but that was far too long...

You seem to have gotten confused and not said "that is bloody horrific" I've said it for you.

It's not my old one is it? I did it the wrong way round though, I paid for the problems to be fixed then punted it 🤣

I had a level warning in mine a couple of times. I fitted a new level sensor, literally takes seconds. In fact from memory, my kettle took longer to boil than it took to fit the new sensor.

As Neil says, Peugeots are very picky about batteries. For example, one of my 407s decided to forget about the position of one of its windows. And my 406 had a memory lapse regarding its climate control. Both because of old/poor batteries.,

I've no idea, unless it's a cover for inner gubbins?

Have you tried a BSI reset? They seem to fix quite a wide range of Peugeotisms.

Tried eBay? I've had some for my Toyota GT86, for about 1.5 years. Still in the box. They seemed too much of a faff to fit 😆
