Taking nothing away from what is a great car, that spoiler just continues to bug me. It just isn't aesthetically pleasing at all in my eyes. Still...I'm sure I could live with it and get to overlook it.

I love it, I even like the rear spoiler and although the screw on plaque isn't fantastic i find it strangely appealing and FAR better than what would have been a scratchy black plastic blanking plate.

Enjoy, I'm jealous :D

Wow! So that's what the most powerful production 1.6 engine in the WORLD looks like. Kudos to Peugeot for putting this into production. Love it! :D

Little bit of a clicking sound, but sounds like it's meant to happen rather than a sign of a problem!

I have had my RCZr since mid Jan, and although the car is fine in all other aspects there is a whine somewhere in the car between 36 - 39 mph, The car has been back to the dealer for 1 week, they have had a technical guy come to the dealer from Peugeot Technical and I am told it is the slip diff,
Apparently in a high performance car like this it is to be expected and there is nothing wrong with the car, they also took another rczr to the dealer and apparently this one was worse than mine,
Have spoken to Peugeot customer care and because I did not have a test drive prior to ordering they are not willing to do any other works on the car ( I had suggested that if they could not solve the whine they could have it back and I would have a new car like the one I had before which was an RCZ GT auto )
I have checked the obvious such as tyre pressures etc etc - only answer is to turn the radio up louder

Where are you located Pete? The statement that they are unwilling to do any other work on the car because you hadn't test driven it strikes me as peculiar. Is this because they are uh getting that the noise that you're experiencing is perfectly normal? The limited slip diff shouldn't make any sound as you describe. A differential balances the torque between the wheels. There is no reason why it would be whining when you hit speeds of 36-39mph.

You may find this helpful but I would suggest that this whine has not been correctly diagnosed. Perhaps you could get a video of it and we could put the collective knowledge and might of the forum to use to try and help you further.

I live in Coventry and it was actually a technician from Peugeot Technical ctr at the Peugeot works that went to the dealer ship to test drive my RCZ R It was after that visit that I was told it was the diff, and then based on that Peugeot customer care confirmed it was the diff and was perfectly normal for a performance car like the R,

the dealer ship I have to say have been brilliant even lending me one of their RCZ GT demo cars whilst my RCZ R was in the garage for the week,
