My R over reads by 4kph and is an even margin at all speeds

Limited choice here in Australia unfortunately

Ended up with a full set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. 235/40ZR19 96Y XL. Very impressed. with them. Quieter than the Eagle F1s.

Hi there, RCZ-R in Melbourne

Mine is a daily drive and reliable. Makes me smile every time! Always serviced by Peugeot dealer in Melbourne. The usual issues of HPFP and thermostat dealt with under warranty. Since then just routine maintenance, battery, front brake rotors, set of coil packs.

how close are clearances with the larger size? Any noticeable difference to handling?

Beside the Goodyear F1, or Michelin PS4 S, or Contisport contact 5, there are also Pirrelli Sports in that size. Will have a yarn with my Tyre guy that has given good advice on other vehicles in the past.

Thanks Andrew, the choice might come down to availability. Looks like the Contis are dearer now too.

Needing to buy a pair of tyres for my RCZ-R in 235/40ZR19. The original Goodyear Eagle F1 has been good but no stock in Australia. thinking of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S but also no stock available. Any suggestions please?

Luckily I trust the dealership- they have been Peugeot dealers for 73 years and I purchased my first new Peugeot from them in 1978 (a 604). The plugs are specific to the R and I always make sure they have them in stock when I book my annual service.

Must be luckier in Australia a set of plugs supplied by dealer $105 AUD = £55 GBP

In Australia, the Peugeot dealer has always changed the plugs every service (which they did not with my THP200) so I have not experienced any plug failures. Is the service requirement the same in the UK?

Probably why they are required to be changed every service on the R and I check that they are done. First set of coils lasted to 55,000 km and this seems about normal.

I had the same problem recently with my R - one coil pack went, then another. So completed all 4 and dealer advised that cylinder numbering starts at gearbox end so right to left.

Welcome from Melbourne!

I also bought my R front discs and pads from you and shipped to Australia. excellent service.

I had 2 Australian RCZ 200 THP from new and both had the automatic spoiler raising operational. A 2010 model and a 2012 both series 1. On my second R so always up!

The installation took a couple of days --- but, I proceeded cautiously and had plenty of time.

Running the cables was the biggest challenge. First, I reviewed all the existing threads on this site - really useful. I removed the boot lining on the LHS and installed the rear facing camera. I went slightly off centre to avoid the boot opening button and reversing lights. I removed the LH...
