    MOT Mileage Record

    Sorry, not RCZ related but I'm going to look at a Fiat Panda 100HP today and I have a slight concern about the mileage. It has 51k approx on the clock but when I've checked the MOT history online it shows 56k. The seller seems a genuine sort of guy and I don't think he would clock it to take...

    Pair of RCZ Headlights for sale

    I have a pair of RCZ headlights for sale. My RCZ had a taxi reverse into it and the bodyshop replaced the headlamps as they said they had a broken lug on each of them. I asked if I could have the old ones as I thought I could at least have the bulbs out of them. They are genuine Peugeot...

    Mintex Front Brake Pads for RCZ 1.6 156THP

    I've now sold my RCZ so have a set of Mintex front brake pads that are surplus to requirements. These are probably better quality than the cheap pads you get on Ebay or from discount motor parts suppliers. £15 with freepost (UK only). It will probably cost me a few quid to send them so I...

    Space Saver Wheel - for 19" wheels

    I've just sold my RCZ 1.6 THP so no longer need the space saver wheel / tyre. It's a never been used Continental tyre 135/80 17. If my memory is correct it's a space saver from Peugeot 407. Although it's a 17" rim the tyre profile is higher than the RCZ so the overall diameter is very close...

    Leaking Coolant

    Is anyone able to post a diagram of the cooling system on the 1.6THP please? I've got coolant dripping from the back of the engine somewhere but when I've jacked it up and looked from underneath I can't see where it's coming from! I could remove the battery and plastic trunking from above to...

    Reconditioned High Pressure Fuel Pump

    This is a cheaper alternative to taking your RCZ to Peugeot for a new HPFP. I bought a 'remanufactured' fuel pump on Ebay. It costs about £150 plus the postage to send my own pump to the chap who reconditions them (I used RM Special Delivery). It's clear from his feedback that he has done a...

    RCZ 156THP Fuel Filter Location

    I've had a thorough look through this forum and all over the web to try to find the location of the fuel filter on my 1.6 156THP. I've also jacked the car up and had a good look round for it. Common opinion on this forum is that there isn't a fuel filter on the petrol RCZ - just a screen on...

    Remote Negative Battery Terminal

    I want to charge my battery up a bit but I can't find the remote terminal for the battery. I am sure that as the negative terminal is very difficult to get to there is a terminal in a more accessible position. The manual is no help whatsoever and I've looked all round the engine bay and cannot...

    Why Don't They Do This?

    There's something I've wondered about for a time and I know someone on here will know the answer! There are often problems with car cambelts and camchains, tensioners etc. Why do the engine designers not come up with a couple of gears linking the crankshaft and camshaft instead of using a...

    ECU Connections to Rear ABS Wheel Sensors

    My RCZ is at the local auto electrician as the ABS / ESP warning messages have come up. They have identified the circuit causing the problem (it's a rear circuit but can't remember if they said nearside or offside) but they haven't got a wiring diagram for it. I've got the Service Box SEDRE...

    Help Please: ESP & ABS Warnings

    I had these warnings come up a couple of months ago after getting a bit bogged down in a muddy field and subsequently cleaning mud off the wheels with a jet washer. The fault disappeared though. I've now got the same ESP & ABS warnings coming up and I was just driving slowly on wet roads...

    P1340 Camshaft position sensor B circuit Malfunction

    I got the P1340 error code on my OBDII fault code reader last week after engine misfiring. I looked the code up and it said it was a severe misfire on cylinder 4. I changed the coil pack and all seemed fine until I got the same error code and misfire today. I then found a different...

    RCZ being scrapped

    There's an RCZ being broken on Ebay. Only got about 12,000 on the clock. From the photos I can't see anything wrong with it! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PEUGEOT-RCZ-G ... 2353749234?

    Level 2 Service Cost - £250

    My local Peugeot dealer has quoted £250 total cost for my 'Level 2' (full) service. The 2011 1.6THP is just coming up to 50,000 miles. I think this is reasonable cost but I've seen posts on this forum about varying servicing costs. Does this seem like a fair price? If anyone has found...

    Changing Auto Gearbox Oil

    Some weeks ago I went through some floodwater. Not something I would usually do but there was flooding all over the lanes in that area and I didn't know my way around. The following day the auto gearbox was a bit juddery when changing gear sometimes. This has continued since - sometimes it...

    Which glue would be best for engine trim plate?

    The bit of brushed aluminium trim pictured has fallen off from the top of my engine! The glue that previously attached it to the plastic cover seems to be a brittle transluscent type. Has anyone got any idea on the best glue to refix it please? I guess it would need to be mildly tolerant of...

    Bargain of the Week!

    This week's bargain is my RCZ MOT today, just £27.42 incl. VAT (half price) from Howards Peugeot in Weston-super-Mare. It passed as well. I don't think I've had an MOT this cheap since the 80's. Peugeot must be losing money at this price but I guess it's balanced out by work carried out on...

    Which Fuse controls the Active Spoiler?

    My spoiler is stuck in the half way (50mph) position. There is no power light on the spoiler switch and operating the switch has no effect. It might be the fuse but the handbook doesn't say which fuse controls the spoiler. Does anyone know please?

    Spoiler stuck half way

    I know there's a lot of posts on here about the auto spoiler but I can't see any with my problem. I have just replaced the coolant outlet housing as the thermostat was stuck open and my car's been running colder than a fridge. Anyway, that is now fixed and temperature is back to normal. The...

    Gadget of the Week!

    Don't know if I'm supposed to promote items on here. Administrator - if not please delete this post and accept my apologies. I bought something recently that cost £3.95 with freepost and it has already been really useful. I should have bought one years ago! It's basically an extending small...
