Wich Spoiler is That? That Looks Good !
Managed to find a real nice adjustable spoiler on Amazon . Just deciding whether to paint or wrap it.
Nice job. I love my rcz and have added lots of nice touches to it. Gonna be putting side skirts and front splitters on it soon and a second rear spoiler
your a clown, leave cars alone
Sorry mate, but it's one of the ugliest solutions what I've seen with this large unfit screen 🤣🤣🤣🤣
When removing thr spring. Dont aim it at your crown jewels...had to close my eyes, thought you might loose your meat and two veg..🤣🤣 nice job though.
are you sure this car has a low-milage. It looks very very rusty.
Another good video. The music is a pain though!
Powersteering fluid holder for corsa C
is that a check engine light?
Typically, your brake system warning light being on means your parking brake is engaged
Well done bringing the old girl back to being a lovely-looking roadworthy RCZ once again.. Great video 👍
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it 🙏🏼😊
Under 4K? What a bargain!
That's what I think too 😊, I bought mine a few years ago for £6200 with similar mileage
@@CarFlix. I bought mine in 2015 with 12K miles on it for 18K. Now it has 66K miles and I would like to think it's definitely worth at least 6K :D; mint condition
@@TomikCsvk I sure it will be, but who would know in today's market 😁
@@CarFlix. No matter, its not like I would be planning of selling it anyway. You would have to offer me at least ridiculous 20K, which would just make me think about it, but still wouldn't guarantee I would sell mine since its in a mint condition and in unique spec that you never see (in a pearl white with black side mirrors and silver wheels), which I personally think looks the best of them all :D. So its not like I could go buy yours for 4K and keep the rest 16K and call it a good day :D; it wouldn't be the same, i simply love mine. It's irreplaceable. - which already gave me a nightmare or two of me dreaming about totalling the car in some way. Plus, so far I had 0 issues with it. All I had to do is to change tires as required and replace windshield sweepers once, and replace front disks once. that is it. I had stupid curb incident this year that broke my right back spring, but that is on me. (and the spring was £40) I take care of my car and it never let me down in almost 10y now. The only recommendations on MOT ever were occasional - your tires look thin and brakes disc at the front. nothing else. If I ever would get seriously rich, this would still be my daily. It's perfect. Enough performance if needed, but very pleasant confident ride at a minimum fuel economy with more than big enough boot for even longer road trips (which I do to Europe to crank out 5k miles each time at the very least). Not to mention I do 800 miles on a tank on average meaning you don't need to even stop every day for fuel on long trip, nor worry about where can you have the next fuel for how much. And I still get complimented on my car every now and then, because frankly, it's absolutely gorgeous when its clean and looks brand new. 10 years later it still makes me smile just seeing it sitting pretty in my drive. Am I in love? I think i am :D
What is the point of having a comment section if you delete all the comments you don't like. I wanted to write my opinion on all the work you did, but i think it is pointless... this car is in terrible condition before and after. Rusty bucket bodged up on budget. Well done for you to take it on the chin and be willing to do everything, but that's the only positive here. You can't say you didn't see any of those issues while having the wheels off??? MOT place was able to spot it with wheels on. Spraying rusty parts is not resolving the problem, or leaving a snaped bolt and cutting spring is solution, this is just leaving problems for the next person. Im not dissing your work, I'm diy guy myself and do everything on my 2011 RCZ, but my head would allow me to leave the car in this state. This is not restoring, but diy'it just to pass the MOT, but that's how 99% of people look after their cars in this country...
I agree,i would probably kill myself with all that rust😂 Mine is 2013 and has no ruat below,ihave spend 10.000€ on my Rcz to be in best shape. But hi is seling that car,so he doesent need to be in tip top shape,and you think thqt someone if he did all that,would pay that work,i dont think so. But still nice job.
Good work. And interesting to see some things that's been done on mine at a garage (like Dpf replacement). I think mine had dodgy Mots before I bought it. Plenty wrong with it but the previous owners Mots showed nothing bad.
Thanks so much for your kind comment, I totally agree , I think there has been a massive crackdown on MOT fraud lately so hopefully this will end soon 🙏🏼
if i lived in the uk instead of sweden, i'd buy tis car in a heart beat, great video!
Ah thank you so much really appreciate your kind comment ☺️🙏🏼
Good video. The canned music is a distraction though, not needed.
Thanks Paul, I appreciate the feedback, I'll tame the music in future videos ☺️
I appreciate each to their own, but one of the joys of an RCZ is not having a bloody tablet stuck on the dash.
Hi and thanks for your comment, in my opinion its for the ease of use of the satnav and not having a phone stuck to your windscreen. The other benefit is the sound quality can be greatly increased using the EQ and also giving the option of adding a sub woofer if you like 🙂
@@CarFlix. Thanks for the reply, I meant no offence. I hope I didn't come across as being rude, I just hate that cars have ended up with screens dominating the dashboard. I have my mums 2014 RCZ GT, I bought it for her 10 years ago. She passed away 17 months ago and I cannot bring myself to sell it, such a fantastic car filled with great memories. In the last 17 months I have used it frequently and just love it as a car (setting aside that it was my mother's) I love knobs and dials over screens (old fashioned old man 😂) but like I said it's a question if personal preference. If I had to update the ice then I would begrudgingly go for a double din unit that also has physical buttons/knob. Thanks for the video though. I would also like to add that RCZ people are a love bunch, every time I take the car out it gets admired, but stumble across a RCZ owner and they always toot and wave, stop to chat, even had one follow me to the supermarket just to chat 😂. Anyway have a nice weekend 👍🏻
@@Sly_Wolf_1 no offence taken ☺️, I'm sorry to hear about your mum, but she has left you an amazing gift 😃, enjoy it like she did, all the best Jon
@@CarFlix.👍🏻
Thanks for the clear video, but why do you want a car to look "aggressive"? Isn't that a negative co-notation?
Hi and thanks for your comment ☺️, I think it's a case of each to their own 😃
Pls send where you buy ???send the link pls
Hi please check the other comments for the link 🙂
Are these main beams? If not what LED do I order ( nice car!)
Hi and thank you for your kind reply ☺️🙏🏼, they are DRL running lights / sidelights, I have since also upgraded the main and high beam too ☺️
Thanks for all your rcz videos im gonna change these today.
You are very welcome 🙂, good luck with the fit 😊
your videos are great, thanks
Thank you , I really appreciate that 🙏🏼😊
3 to 1 I find is too watery. I go 50/50 and foams up much better. Make sure car is dry first. I use more solution this way but foams up better. 3/1 I find runs off within a couple minutes
Thanks for the info, at the time I wasn't familiar with the setup ☺️

How do you make the Transformer Logos ?
I bought the badge from eBay ☺️
Top 😊 we have the same radio just instal it yesterday at the Toothing Car Audio in London. I'm doing the camera myself today
You are welcome, I'm so happy my video helped you out ☺️
Just what I needed 😃
Thanks I'm so happy this helped you out 😊
@@CarFlix. I just have to figure out how to get the pipe off with a broken clip
I have the same problem on my 308. The dealership is useless even tho it still has warranty. Is this still how it works on the current model of 308 or this fix only for older models?
It should be a similar situation as all steering columns are the same layout 😊
Olá amiguinhos procure um canal que se chama Flávio rcz. O rcz dele tem 247 cv e é um dos mais lindos Rcz do UA-cam
Thanks I'll check it out 😃
hello Sir, I came across you by chance and I'm glad for that, maybe you can help me, I recently bought a rcz 2.0 HDi, I have the check engine on and the car does not pull below 2,000 rpm, a friend put it on diagnosis and found that the turbine does not get enough pressure below 2000 rpm, what could be the cause, I mention that in front of the engine there are two hoses with 2 sensors, the one leading to the intercooler has a plug but the other one does not and I did not find one anywhere in the compartment engine, is the problem with that plug or is it something else?
Hi , the missing connector is normal they made 2 variants of the engine with and without the connector used I'm guessing it was for emissions, mine is without a connector. It sounds like you have a vacuum leak, the easiest way to find it is to listen for an air leak coming from the smaller pipes on the top of the engine, they usually hiss and get brittle near the plastic connectors. Check out my other video where I found my vacuum leak. If you are really struggling to find the leak book your car in for a smoke leak test 😊

Thank you very much for the tip! I was a moment away from braking top fuel filter cap (Jumpy-3) and yet decided to search an internet one more time! Ordered ten of those clips (They're available not just from Aliexpress: Patron P371692 and SAT STM12495) to have in car just in case and maybe to help someone.
You are more than welcome , glad I could help 😊
How do you clear the code if it does come up still?
You need a good code reader, they are pretty expensive though mine was £500 , unless you pay a garage to clear it for you
I bought one just like it but I could get the camera for it as the page keeps saying page not found like?
Make sure your headunit is set to PAL 🙂
Mate love your car I have the same and would love the boot spoiler can you help please
Thank you so much, I got it from AliExpress, if you search my videos for £100 spoiler I've put the link on there 😃
I actually like the look of it, makes it stand out from the rest, very nice
Thank you I really appreciate that 🙏🏼😊
Finally back to health! But can't help but to think the front bumper colour is slightly lighter shade now than the rest of the body. Maybe its just in my head, its that close. Maybe it's just illusion of light mainly at 24:13 The canards look great. It reminds me of the demon from Jeepers Creepers; the car looks mean :D
Yay 😀 Yeah I agree it is a slightly different shade but I'll get that sorted in a future video when I smooth the nose recess 😊 Glad you like the canards too, they are a bit marmite to some people 😊🙏🏼
Weldone mate, I'm glad you was able to sort it
Me too 😀, thank you so much 😊🙏🏼
nice job
Thank you so much 🙏🏼😊
Glad to see you're getting it rebuilt. What a nightmare! Good for more content for us though 😁👌 Have you got a track listing for the tunes? Shazam can't I'd them. Quality tunes.
Ah thanks so much for your comment and positive feedback really appreciate your support 🙏🏼🙂 The music I use is commercial so free 😀, if you download the capcut app you can download the music on to your device for free, just type in deep house and they should come up 🙂
@@CarFlix. You're a star. Much appreciated! Looking forward to more of your videos. I've just bought an RCZ GT and am going to have some fun with it.
@@_Rustodian you are welcome 🙂, and thank you Congratulations! They are great cars , you won't be disappointed 😀
What size it the fuel filter housing bolt on the hdi? One of mine is missing and been replaced with another bolt with 5 washers (making up the space, as screw/bolt is too long) cheers
I can't remember, best bet is to take one of the bolts with you to a DIY shop and match them up 😊
I have a 2013 C class with this Becker system and for some reason I have lost the voice that’s says “please observe the speed limit.” Any idea have I can get it back
Hi , I did the exact same thing, I no longer have the car but from memory you press the icon with a cross through the speaker and it comes back on again, hope this helps 😊
Thank you for the video.. I wish, you are my next door neighbour. I will pay you to do it for me
So nice of you 😊
Will it damage the car's brain or electricity if it is constantly plugged in?
The device only reads data so can't damage anything 😊
