Few others get them or appreciate them I was out in mine for a couple of hours today, and I never booted it on once. Just cruised and took it all in for a change, thinking about what I’ll refresh on it next. I love it and don’t care of others opinions.

When you say relay, do you mean the two speed resistor relay on the radiator panel? If the temp sensor faults it will run the fan hi speed as a precaution as true temp can’t be determined. If you take a look at the temperature gauge in the car, is it shooting hi very quickly? or using you...

there Is that and then there is the fact the the gov want to get us all out of our real cars and into scalextric boxes, which all look the same, have no prolonged future and definitely have no automotive soul. Doing away with antisocial classic car meets as who is going to go look at any of this...

The silicone hose omits the sensor. Have seen others take the sensor out of the OE pipe and slip it in, however doesn’t seem to cause issues not being there. I am fairly certain the link below is for one, if you look at its shape compared to my 156 pic the pcv connection comes out the front of...

I know yours is a 200 and the below is a 156, but same thing with a different shaped pipe from the cover. The plug is to a temp sensor/heater after the pcv outlet on the valve cover. Note a fan of those silicone pipe, but shouldn’t cause any issues. Ps - The blue tape is on the vacuum line, if...

I got a bit of time on Friday to look at mine, code P0532 (if I remember right) regarding pressure sensor open circuit. Open circuit can also be because there is insufficient pressure to close it as well as potential bad switch. So yesterday I went down to Halfords and bought a can of 134 and a...

A bit of knowledge on your car will stand you in good stead, and help you keep the cost of maintaining it in the future. When you get your test be sure and get some pics of the car somewhere nice and post them. Good luck with the test.

Picking up bits and bobs from other posts, electrical components that can…. two speed fan resistor (in at the front of the radiator, just visible thru the bumper grill). Coolant thermostat (housing). Engine temp sensor. AC pressure switch. just to name a few that can have an impact on ac operation

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.
