RCZoom: If I find some kind of deal I'll be sure to see if there is an extra for other RCZ owners

Hi RCZoom Car's going fantastic> I just love it. It's disappointing to hear that your dealer isn't being very generous. I have nothing but praise for Allpike Peugeot in Perth - maybe it was because I was one of the first orders.RCZooM said:good luck with your negotiation with your dealer. On reflection a note of caution re the jack etc. I had assumed that they came with the car because the dealer only made a fuss of telling me about the spare he had found. It may be that he also threw in the jack and wheel brace though. You may want to check what the car comes with. I now get the impression from other posts on here that I've re-read that the jack maybe doesn't come with the car.
Hi aussiercz
How is your baby going now that you've had it a couple of weeks.
You were correct - the jack isn't supplied in Australia. I'd also noticed that European versions didn't have the jack but as the Australian models seem to have different options I wondered (after seeing your message) if the jack was one of them.
Unfortunately I also had no luck with my negotiations. Any spare that I get, I will need to pay for - even for a space saver option. They indicated a cost for an original RCZ Alloy would be over $900. They suggested I wait until after delivery and they will give me a discount card for use with purchases made through their Spare Parts department.
Once I take delivery, I'm going to visit the local wreckers and see what I can find in the way of wheels and jacks for Peugeots.

'RCZooM said:Someone mentioned on here that the latest material used in the inflation kit doesn't damage the tyre or the valve and the tyre can be repaired afterwards. Still there are punctures you can't repair with the inflation kit and with the long distances between towns in rural Australia (you can fit several small European countries into one state here) I don't believe anyone can afford to travel without a spare wheel.
Ive forwarded the details of the 407 spare option to my dealer in case others are in the same position.

I've already place an order for the space saver and tyre from my dealer so I'll stick with that I think. I did do some pricing and you got a great deal from your dealer cos an alloy and tyre are worth many hundreds of dollars. There are no 407 space savers in Australia so my dealer has had to order one in for me. I tried all the second hand parts places and wreckers around the country and there were no 407 wheels of any kind.
I should have my RCZ before Easter and I'm planning a week away for the Easter break. I don't want to travel without a spare so I couldnt afford to wait any longer in the hope something came along in time.
Hi Allen and welcome to the forum :wave: . There are lots of replies regarding the spare wheel so I'm not going near that one but just wanted to greet another person from Norn Iron to the forum. There are about 6 or 7 of us now so some time we must arrange a mini-meet :thumbup: .allen said:Hi All,
i am a newbie i have just purchased a new RCZ GT HDI, i went into my local dealers last wednesday and saw this car which i thought was very nice and done the deal, i got my new car on friday last 26th and have now got 74 mile on it.
for the mo i am very impressed and look forward to more miles the same, i have read the issue ref the spare wheel situ and think that the only way out is to purchase another wheel same as on the car, i could speak to the dealer to see if they will supply one at a reduced cost and i could purchase the tyre, could do this when i get to 1k miles and car is in for check over.
anyone's views on any other suggestions let me know until then cheers.
