My partner has bought an RCZ, went to check oil as it has a message saying "oil message invalid" ....not sure if this dip stick is right for car or broken as it has no markings or oil on it? Can anyone help, photos attached. Also could anyone recommend a space save wheel that works?IMG20230628160932.jpgIMG20230628160932.jpgIMG20230628161043.jpg

Hi there you must have a Hdi and yes the bottom of the dipstick is missing it is very common on the RCZ hdi. It happened to me with mine just ordered a new one from ebay the plastic tip that is missing stayed in the sump until next service OK here is a link

Hope this helps you out

A full size wheel will fit in the tyre well. I have 19 inch in mine and the wife's RCZ you just need to put two layers of carpet underlay in the boot area cut out the size of the wheel and the piece you cut out put it in the bottom of the wheel well as not to scratch the wheel then put the boot liner back in then hay presto....
As for the oil l use best oil that is recommended in hand book.....
Hope this helps you out

My 19" wheel-tyre was stuck in the well I actually got it out eventually with a pinch bar without damaging the wheel ! I should have deflated it before dropping it in the wheel well just one to watch out for if you do fit a full size wheel & tyre

A 215/55 17 wheel from a Peugeot 407 fits perfectly in the space without raising the boot floor.
The tire external diameter is close the same.
The screws are also compatible with the RCZ. I think that to design the RCZ they took advantage of parts of the 407

But it can only be mounted on the front axle on the 156HP and HDI, on the 200HP and R it hits the brake caliper

I have full size 19' in both my Hdi RCZs and yes take a little air out and no issue as the compressor etc fit inside the wheel a little bit of air back in when you need to use it....
