That arse freaks me out in so many ways!

Touche to the above. Call me sad - the accusation would be fair. But in round-a-bout south-east Britain it's one of the few places a vehicle can be pushed 'safely'. Jeez, this thing just loves cornering. What is a cheap and choppy normal driving sensation just becomes immense feedback feeling...

Thank you Pedro. A walnut'ing sounds a sound starting point, along with a compression test. Cheers.

A round trip to Brussels, net of visas and tarrifs.

Thanks Gents. Using Total 5w/30 in 51k miled 156. Yes the tailpipe is sooty. Turbo and cam chain changed 2k miles ago by previous owner. I understand the carbon build up issue around the valve seats, but don't get how oil is being burnt because of this. Is this all to do with the air flow...

I love the RCZ for the way she can be abused through corners with those giant footprints - giggle's per heart beat - off the scale. But cars will always be a second class form of tranport to motorcycles through their inability to lean. By Mohammed's rancid sandal (Topeki palace) I've never felt...

No drips, all sparkplugs look to be a nice grey colour, which I take to mean the combustion chamber staying oil free / oil rings are sealing. So any ideas why she drinks a litre of oil every 1000km?

Gidday Ian. Never liked boat anchors, but remember reading about the VMAX in CycleWorld when she came out in 1985. Definitely a class defining iconic machine, such a great looking muscle bike.

‚Tis amazing how effective the ancient art of unplugging and replugging a device still is.

After an reasonably exhaustive search for stylish coupes the boss and I decided on the RCZ as her new motor and brought an 'eleven' () plated blue 156 a couple of weeks ago. Motors under contemplation (within our GBP6k budget) were initially confined to hard top convertibles; and consequently...

That’s a great simple trick thanks DKZ. Having just purchased a 50k mile 156 with timing chain fresh in along with a new oil I was frustrated as hell trying to read that stupid spiral thing. But what you say and given the thin oil the spiral now makes sense to ‚hold‘ the oil. All in the...

Purchased a 50k mile Blue 2011 156 THP GT yesterday. Car is in great nick, which is the way I intend to keep her. One of the comments I have read is the ‚leather‘ dash can stretch and sag, particularly around the air vents, clocks. Any tips on preventative care. Cleaning / conditioning...

Yeah, not surprised. Going light over Lukey Heights with a bit of the famous Island wind under her skirts could be a palpatating sphincter moment. Brought a very tidy 50k mile 2011 Blue RCZ for the boss with timing chain and turbo just done. Happy. God they are gorgeous alright. A little...

Thanks Aussie Apple, that'sa vibe I've been picking up too. Ever taken the R to The Island? Only ever watched bikes around there, but it is one of the greatest tracks on earth.

That’s great info thanks Pedro. Cheers!

Thanks for that tip Dingers.

Hello All. I realise this topic has probably been covered ad nauseam, buried within the depths here somewhere. Never easy extracting archived threads. So as a potential / probable purchaser this week I know the Prince engine has a bicycle‘esque timing chain, and that high pressure fuel pumps...
