  1. It looks like an additional clip on addition to a luggage compartment cover which probably has a straight rear edge.The clip in section will fill in the gap where the tailgate curves outwards. No doubt an RX owner will know better than a non owner.
  2. https://amzn.eu/d/aTPjHkZ I've recently bought one of these for my wife to listen to in hospital. Imagine an Android smartphone,but two thirds the size(4") and no phone or camera.This model has wi fi/Bluetooth/3.5mm socket.It works like a normal touchscreen phone.Edit.has got usb c to usb a connection.
  3. https://www.wired.co.uk/article/workers-are-dying-in-the-ev-industrys-tainted-city Read this to see how clean EVs are.
  4. It's probably the taller,fixed headrests.The RC has removable headrests.
  5. I tried to rev mine whilst in neutral..no it doesn't.As above really,it must be a hybrid thing.Also,why bother revving it anyway-it doesn't sound good.You will need 5/6/8/ or preferably 10 or 12 cylinders to get a decent sound from a modern engine.(Yes,I do remember twin cam Escorts and Alfas).
  6. The title of the thread says it all.
  7. Years ago, probably the early '80s,I had a Lancia Delta as a company car.The rear wiper didn't have a conventional washer jet but the fluid was delivered via a tube attached to the wiper arm,to a jet on the end of the wiper arm. This was clever Italian engineering,as the wiper arm fell off the drive spindle every third wipe.Ay least it didn't get lost....
  8. I've never tried doing that.I'll try it tomorrow and report back to you.
  9. Agreed Ed. The presenter needs to calm down a bit.A combination of his weight,blood pressure and a diet of chocolate hob nobs will mean he won't be around long enough to enjoy his Aston/Ferrari or indeed a milk float.
  10. I'm not sure what you mean by not revving.Perhaps you've accidently switched it into EV mode.That will give you a green EV light on the dash.To turn it off,press the EV button (by the circular driving mode knob).
  11. I skimmed through an article on EVs recently,not with any great interest, as if I wanted to drive a milk float,I'd get a job with Express Dairies. On a more serious note though,has anybody thought about disposal/recycling dead EV battery packs?They weigh hundreds of kg. and the article mentioned that only Lithium salts could be extracted for recycling.Also,the battery packs themselves are large and heavy.What will happen to them? Apparently solar panels also have a limited life and again have very limited recyclability.Where will they go?
  12. It wasn't tongue in cheek.Previous replies had covered the obvious "technical" aspects,and cataracts can cause difficulties with night driving...as I know from personal experience. Hence looking at it from a different perspective.
  13. Have you been to an optician recently?
  14. Must be something to do with the inflation rate....
  15. Yes performance is "relaxed",but my driving style changed very quickly and yet I still "make progress. You can adjust the sensitivity/reactivity of the trackpadwhich ,along with practice ,helps.
  16. Sort of-they cancel on a sharp/90° turn,but don't on a gentle 45° type turn. I did finally get it to change from 3 to 5 flashes though,which is much better. Otherwise,I can't think there's much worth stealing from Citroen.
  17. Dave I bought an RC a year ago, almost to the day.I have certainly not regretted it.I too was sold on it almost instantly.Yes,it is quiet and smooth and just a relaxing car to drive. It won't (obviously) carry as much or as many people.Little things like the non cancelling indicators and the foot parking brake still niggle a year on.Performance is best described as "adequate". Enjoy it.
  18. I only had to read the first 4 lines of Northpolar's post to think Bridgestone. Apparently they are renowned for cracking.I first had them in 2007 on my Porsche Cayman and had to replace the fronts after a few years because of crackling,mostly between the treads.The rears never got that far due to wear and punctures.(The downside of having tyres twice average width is twice as likely to get a puncture. I sold the Porsche just after I got early retirement and bought 2 new Mazdas,CX7 (RX lookalike) and an MX5.Guess what...both had Bridgestones. The CX7 did most of the mileage,so cracking didn't have time to occur.The MX5 kept the original tyres for 10 years with no cracking at all.Both I and the dealer kept a close eye on them in later years just in case. A year ago,almost to the day,I bought the RC,with Bridgestones....... I can't get away from them...
  19. Good luck with it anyway.I hope you enjoy your new car as much as I have.
  20. I,ve just checked my on line manual and it is to the RHS of the steering wheel.There appears to be a button or v small panel between the up and down arrows but I don't think it does anything. The whole centre console,roof switches and door switches for windows etc should light up in conjunction with the dash. Ask if you get stuck.
  21. ...just realised that you have bought an identical car ..model,year,colour,spec,interior and collected it a year to the day since I collected mine. David
  22. Hello Lorri. Excellent choice..looks identical to mine. Have you looked at manual(or online version)? From memory there is a control to one side of the steering column, can't remember if L or R.It has up/down arrows to adjust brightness of the internal lighting
