Tidy…and a wee tyre upgrade to ‘boot’.

Shoot, 3 fitted and failing the same, I hope that’s not a precursor to what’s in front of me. I am guessing you have also at some point flushed your cooling system and replaced with the correct coolant type. I have had no ac for a few weeks and thought I’d lost my gas, so was planning a re gas...

Don’t know why I am posting this, but hey there is bound to be someone understands. MOT day today. MOT centre is about 10/12 mile from my house, pretty much straight down a dual carriageway. Car can do the journey to the MOT centre no problems. On the way back the car develops an issue where it...

What make/brand of thermostat housing have you fitted (if not original)? I have heard some have issues with some. I have Mahle and no issues to date 🤞

Yep, that’s why I am putting them back in nice and fresh…….just the springs I might go of reservation for.

I take to my halogen lights with a drop of farecla 360 on a mini buff, ceramic coat, then two coat of autoglym uhd, by doing them at the starting summer they seem to last okay til next. Have considered cleaning back and putting a couple of coats of clear lacquer to see if that would stay nice...

Hmm, I was contemplating H&R lowering (by about 10mm) and tightening it up a little. The gap above the wheels to arch is a little too much. The ride is good at the minute, on the decent roads, but just a wee bit firmer into corners would feel a tad better.

I know what you mean, I too check in a few times a week to see what is going on. RCZ owners are not in high numbers, then there are also a bunch of Facebook forums for RCZ which spread potential member number unless they join across multiple groups. Then add in most people check in to a forum...

Oh shoit, not good. Hope you get sorted quickly.

….shame to get rid of your RCZ, as your chain guys have said, the debris has went somewhere and buy the look of the cam journals it hasn’t all been caught in the filter. My suggestion of prolonging the engine life is just that….no known timespan. (My dirty engine has about 15k on it since that...

As much as the cams are marked and pitted, I’ve seen worse. You can prolong any drastic actions, like cams or engine replacement by asking them or changing up to 5/30 oil and fitting a magnetic sump plug yourself Next oil change. The oil below is recommended by PSA for the prince engine and...

Irony, the car I was Servicing today has the original style, with the sensor in the bleed port and the adapter loom.

Petrol? Coolant level okay? If the engine coolant temp sensor has failed the ecu will put the fan on full speed as a precaution, you can plug a new one in to confirm before doing the actual change. The sensor on the revised version of the thermostat (pic below) is easily changed, with a little...

You’ll probably end up with a complete unit, I think the buttons all go to one pcb as it’s one plug into the the back of it. The glass tipping mechanism can be got from Ali, not sure on quality but I did buy a passenger side window switch and have no issues. The glass mount motor mech comes in...

id say that when he did it the air was blue trying to wiggle and rotate the stump for the pipe that goes to the radiator bottom.

Very well detailed.

You’re right I am all petrol, diesels got too much wrapped all over the engines to get at anything 🤭. Diesel thermos unfortunately suffer the same issues. One of the pressure test kits can be you biggest friend when looking for a leak, flexi cam too. If it’s the expansion cap lid letting by, and...

There’s a few things I keep reading about engine upgrades, but then don’t. It’s the notifying the insurance, reports etc that put me off, yeah I know induction kits fitted, remaps etc all get done all the time without being insured properly. I’ve done a few tweaks to what is existing to get some...

What size have you gone? Or are they per factory size.

Bonnet latch end is the same on mk1 Rcz and 308. Just as a suggestion, if the rest of your gubbins (handle/cable etc) is okay and it is just the plastic insert, you could try a barrel nut. Youll also need an m6 plain washer and a small o ring or two, when the bolt tightens in on the cable it...
