Well, after 154,000 miles my RCZ R engine has failed and I have bitten the bullet and ordered a replacement engine. It will be an exchange engine which I am told is so similar to a new one that the saving on cost is worth it. All I have to do now is look down the back of the sofa for all the...

Garage says they are 90% worn and recommends replacement at a cost of about £1350. For an RCZ R. I am out of touch, is that a fair price?

Have noticed oil drips under the car recently and last week there was a smell of burnt/burning oil when in stationary traffic. Today there was a visible haze coming in through the air vents. Garage has put it on the ramp and says they think it may be the oil cooler or something in that vicinity...

My RCZ R is having a routine service and the garage has called to say they have found a coolant pipe is up against a driveshaft. Although it hasn't been damaged yet, I am told it could wear through at any moment and dump out all the coolant under pressure. They are trying to get permission to...

My RCZ R came up with a warning saying "Engine Fault - Repair Needed" and the warning light came on. It was running perfectly well but I took it to the garage today. They ran a diagnostic check and said the code indicated that the fuel mix was too rich. They looked at everything to do with fuel...

Well, the time has come. After three years and 70,000 miles the beast is in for service and its first MOT test. I usually replace my car at about this time but genuinely there is nothing out there I'd rather own than the R - unless Peugeot put another concept car into production of course!!!!.

Anyone know where I can get hold of a new plastic or glass disk to replace the one on the dash that covers the clock in my RCZ R? I could buy a sheet of perspex and try to cut it out with a stanley knife but I'm not very good at making perfect circles! Had the interior cleaned and the muppets...

Found out the hard way that the parking sensor system was faulty. Have had the inner rear offside sensor replaced under warranty and all is well. Surprising how much I came to rely on the sensors. I was a little surprised that the fron sensors also refused to work even though the faulty one...

Had four new tyres fitted just before last weekend. Got a low pressure warning for one tyre on Sunday, so I assumed it hadn't been fully inflated and topped up the pressure. This morning I got the same thing and pressure was down to 23psi on offside rear. Went back to tyre fitters and after...

Being fitted tomorrow. Have a guess at the cost.......

Well, its now two weeks since I notified Autoglass that my windscreen needs replacing due to a large (25cm) crack in the centre bottom of the screen, caused by a small impact that spread. They made an appointment for last week and an hour before they were due to arrive I had a call to say they...

Has had its first 20,000 mile service. Apart from the temperature sensor issue reported elsewhere on this forum some months ago, an unremarkable first year of ownership from a reliability perspective. Two new tyres at 18,000 miles, other two still have a couple of 1,000 miles left in them. But...

Spotted yesterday around noon on hard shoulder of M25 about a mile past Clackett Lane services towards Dartford. Hope you got sorted and back on your way soon!

In fourth month of ownership and after 6000 miles... On Saturday I am driving at a respectable legal speed when there are three loud beeps and the panel in front of me says in alarming fashion: ENGINE TEMPERATURE FAULT STOP VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY and temperature gauge reads 130°C (maximum) I...

Found this picture of the RCZ R and am curious about the functions of the button shown (which I don't have in my RCZ R). Any ideas?

Before I got my new RCZ R I had an "ordinary" RCZ and had swapped the regular tyres for winter tyres, keeping the best two for spares. When the old car was part-exchanged the winter tyres stayed on. In consequence I have 2 x Continental 235/40 ZR 19 part-worn tyres surplus to requirements. Any...

As suggested by mrizzle, here are a couple of pics of my new beast. 1) The RCZ flash along the base of the doors - expensive but nice. 2) Strange R motif on the centre console by the electric socket - almost looks like it has been put there as an afterthought to cover something? 3) rear view...
