Newbie.type r as a daily ?

[DKZ5745]

Just answered that in your other thread. One thing to note that is not self evident, you go to the “town” line to input postcodes, if you give it a try, you might already have software that’s late enough to accept 7 digit postcodes. :eusa-think:

The mirror selection switch on the drivers door. You need to pull it back towards the window switches & the mirrors will stay folded in until you pull it back again.

Oops, too late again :lol:

Fits in garage just now.
Bit paranoid though.if that mirror unfolds until out it will wipe out passenger side

It won’t unfold until you manually lull the switch back again. I have to fold and unfold mine to get it in and out the garage

Thanks.give switch a wide berth.
Does ignition need to be on also

Ps.postcode worked.cheers

it will work for a while after ignition is turned off, like the seat motors.


its worth earring in mind, if you ever park on a busy road (I try to avoid it at all costs, but on occasion its unavoidable) its worth folding the mirrors in manually before turning the car off, then they won't fold out as soon as you unlock the car - in case of passing traffic.

Thanks mate.
What do you mean seat motors ?
Ps.can you screen mirror from android to screen ?

Sure mine are only manual.is that a option when new

 

[DKZ5745]

Yeah, some models had electric seats, didn’t realise yours was manual, but in any case, the mirrors should work for a short time after ignition is turned off.

Screen mirroring, I believe is possible, but I think you have to use miracast or similar, it’s not something that I have any knowledge of, so can’t help I’m afraid. I don’t think it’s a simple thing.

Hi.does the R have a cam belt that should be changed ?
Also mine as had a service every year.but at each stamp it says next due 24 month ?
Seems a long time to me

 

[DKZ5745]

All RCZ petrol models have a cam chain. There have been many threads regarding the tensioners failing, but this seems to have been mainly restricted to Mk1 RCZ’s with only the occasional Mk2 needing changing. The Mk2, including I believe the R had modified parts fitted.
The old saying works here, if it’s not broke don’t fix it.

Service schedules have also been discussed on here. I think the consensus, especially for R’s is every year. In fact I think R owners have indicated more often than that, depending on mileage.
