    1st Service on the RCZ

    Hi, I believe it's as you say one year or 20K, I know it sounds a lot for what they will probably do but having a Peugeot dealer history is invaluable when it comes to warrenty claims later on! These cars seem a little fickle with quite a few documented common problems a lot of which arnt cheap...

    Rear seats

    Hi, my daughter is 19 and about 5'6" tall she regularly travels in the back seats of my RCZ and finds it quite bareable and we have done a couple of 80+ mile trips.

    Rattling noise when cold started

    Strangely enough the Peugeot mechanic advised me to have the oil and filter changed at the same time as the timing set even though it had only been done 7 months earlier and only covered 1000 miles, but he didn't say what grade he was gonna put in. I did have it done though at £85. I'll have to...

    Rattling noise when cold started

    :dance: :thumbup: Back from the test drive and all is rosy!!! Engine now starts up very smoothly with no rattles or knocks and has never sounded as quiet. There should be a recall for early cars who have the potential to develop this fault Peugeot know about this why else would they develop...

    RCZ Carbon Fibre Goodies

    Having a Launch Edition with the carbon extras I'd be up for any extras in genuine carbon. Rear valance possibly a carbon spoiler? Or a skin that could cover the original. Centre console cover is a must!

    Cold engine rattle

    I'll get my local Peugeot dealer to give it a look over and let you know what happens. I had thought about going down the extended warranty rout it would probably be cheaper in the long run. :thumbup:
