Re: A new year has meant a new car.. RCZ R in mercury Grey..
Welcome to the Mercury Grey RCZ-R club.
Yes going from a RCZ with front parking sensors to one with not is a pain.
I keep forgetting every time I switch from my first RCZ to my RCZ-R.
What voltage does the battery have (before starting)?
What voltage does it have when engine running?
When the other battery is connected what voltage are you getting on your battery?
I think the minimum voltage for a battery to start and run an engine in warm weather is 9v in winter/cold this...
Just watching Wheeler Dealers S13 E5.
Has a Ford Mustang 5.0l in which has a LSD.
Ed give a brief on what it does and how it works.
Google it, probably on YouTube.
There is a conti 5 now, also there is a dot mark which is 4 numbers the first 2 digits are the week, the second 2 digits are the year.
Eg 4315 =week 43 of 2015 (19th- 25th October 2015) for when the tyre was manufactured.
Very left of this picture.
In this picture it's at 3 o'clock.
The diff for RCZ-R is different to other versions of the RCZ in that it is a torsion differential (or LSD - Limited Slip Differential) which means both wheels get the same amount of power.

Think the NG4 system also has voice recognition (use the button on the end of the light stalk- I believe)
This is the one that has the hard drive (NG4 system).
This one is the RT6 system.
For both of these it's possible to connect via usb in the armrest but is still controlled via the device.
I've got android so can't be much help.
All depends as you have made the RCZ to your liking (by changing things or not), they have made theirs, to their liking.
Each has their own idea of beauty.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Basically LSD puts equal power to both drive shafts/wheels, whereas the normal differential ie on other RCZ's reduce power through the differential so each drive shaft/wheel gets different power.
I've just had mine in for the knocking noise on full lock.
Peugeot dealership changed the struts...
Basically the white goo or mayonnaise is cause by condensation in the engine which mixes with the oil to create this goo.
The engine oil needs to get upto temperature where it can "burn off" the water vapour.
Usually takes 10 minutes for oil to start to get to operating temperature, when...
