***** THIS IS A MAJOR WARNING ABOUT AFTERMARKET ALTERNATORS****

Make no bones about this , it is a very serious warning and "NOT" to be taken lightly ....

Unsure if this as happened to any Mk1 1.8 owners yet? ,but this is the second one I have been involved with on the Mk2's ,...

I look after a mates 2007 mk3.

Just the basic stuff as I am not in the league of Master Menders.

Last year I mentioned that his front n/s caliper was showing signs of old age. Gave it a good clean up and got it through the mot.

He had noticed an occasional wobble on the front wheels, took it to...

I travel the M6 at 5am and back at 5'ish pm,a nice bit of twisty turny to get to the junction, and a nice bit of dual carriage when i come off for work and the same journey back , and it does not matter if its early doors or the evening rush, its all the same, as the driving skills of other drivers...

Wish I had renewed the vel on the MX in March but of course no.

Gone to tax her today and my eyes nearly fell out of my head :shock:

Over £350.00 for the year, so this year its six months only and that's £178.00 so she will be going into hibernation earlier this year.

I know some owners use...

Well, after a nice top down drive up north, the sun was again out this morning so top down and off we go.

A9 to Abefeldy then the 822 to Crieff.

Tinkle, bang whoosh whoosh whoosh.

A 6"x3" piece of Ali checker plate split the sidewall of the rear nearside tyre. Gutted tyres almost brand...

Just recently, we have been experiencing issues around the srew on oil filters.

Despite thinking we have tightened them up, a few days later the odd one has started weeping. On inspection the filter is loose and can take another good half turn.

Seems mainly an issue with Crossland filters....

Been a bit light on here again as the MX has been in the shop for some extensive work (sills, rear arches, boot around battery box etc etc) and was hoping to do a full reveal and write up. Guy I had doing it was keeping me informed of progress with pictures (and hitches such as the mahoosive hole...

I hate them with every fibre of my being. We live in a nice quiet area - been here for over four years - could leave the roofs downs in the hot weather, all cool.

...until 2 weeks ago, when locally housed pikey kids have now reached our area. Result, one keyed mk2 and now my wifes mk1 has a...

These have been made by GV and sold through Rev9,,,,am i missing something here? can they not see what is so wrong with these panels, whats next plastic chassis repair sections? remove the glass and use shrink wrap, are owners really going to be that thick to buy these?co*ck up ...bodge panels as a...

Yep, you got it. Just got my renewal notice from Adrian Flux with whom we have had our wee Eunos insured with for a few years now,.
The quote is 50% more expensive than last years premium.
We have not made any claims or changed any of our requirements.
Now I know prices are increasing but I find...

Accidentally got a bit trigger happy with my hydraulic press when trying to rebuild my old mini supercharger...

:cry:

Luckily this is one of two superchargers I own. This one catastrophically went bang when a seal failed, consumed all it's oil and resulted in a bearing exploding. The rotors...

Don't you just love it when you're working on the car and you're nearly finished and then smash yourself in the face with a rachet when it slips off a bolt!! My face is in agony this morning!!! Feel like my lip belongs to Jocelyn Wildstein!! (Google that you'll know who I mean when you see a pic)...

Jesus wept, I only read the opening post....why would you knowingly make your car sh*t?

Your in the 3rd line of a motorway and you slow right down for the over taking car in front thats doing 1 mile an hour more than the car it is over taking so you wait,,,and wait,,,,and wait.......
And then they move over ( slowly drift over) into the middle line (no indicator) and then speeds up...

left my little eunos parked after nightshift, it was bin collection day, never thought to look but next day found this damage to my spoiler. i know it was the bin wagon reversing
but have know proof. there is no other damage so wasnt a van which is straight back and would have damaged the whole...

This is the thread......, the OC deemed it WRONG that i copied and pasted the chaps P.M to me on to the thread, which i then told them that a massive box of chill pills is being sent from mazdamenders, as it as become to touchy on here the post was removed and "put on hold" i was...

Just priced up a set of bushes for my mk1.
bloody hell that's steep.

BUNCH OF KACK HANDED TW*TS.
Enough said.
M-m

Im in the process of rebuilding the brakes on my mk1 and ordered a set of seals to rebuild the front calipers,all was going well so I left everything and went to Spain for a few days.
Came home yesterday and thought I had better finish what I started.
Only to find some ape has tightened the bleed...

Mr angry hear, came to get in my car this morning to find that, while parked in the road (quiet cul-de-sac) where I live some idiot had driven into my rear bumper, grazed it, punctured it, cracked it, pushed the clip fittings off the rear wing - generally made a mess of it - then driven off without...

Hi guys.

Has anybody had any dealings with the above company. My stepdaughter (through her dad) bought a car from them for £3000. The car is a wreck and the owner of the garage has just washed his hands of it all and refuses to give her her money back. She had the car less than a month. Car was...

Now seen the next spring rally is on a Saturday, Now for me who travellers from east Norfolk, and probably can't get the Friday of i might not be able to make it

I'm just starting my fourth week without my little car .... I've missed four weeks of great weather .... I wanted to head over to Belgium again this week ... to go to Ypres then back to Calais via Dunkerk ....

It's just a bloody saga now ... I bumped my car on my work car park ... the first...

This was at the weekend.....it was packed in the supermarket.

You fu*king pair of total young wa*kers...
With the speed you did to catch me up to prove something and get that close when i was braking to turn right and let some one out, yes i seen you, no i did not let on or wave, because of just how much of a wa*ker you were driving that MK 1 and how close...

Heads up to fellow owners, these rear light units are on the bay of E for sale which are being advertised as RARE, JDM, NEW....well they are not rare as you can still get this unit new for just over £200 new, and the new new units are just out on sale that now use LED units These are made in france...

Our local council has decided that taking rubble and plaster boards to our local tip is not household waste anymore, even tho' contractors do pay to tip their rubbish.
Our parrish council have recieved a letter from some numpty in the council that they will now charge house holders £2.50 for so...

Now I know there are many tales of cyclists misbehaving in towns and cities, BUT what gets up my nose is that on a weekend afternoon they clog up all the B roads doing 20mph. They have no consideration for the 400 other road users stuck behind their lycra clad arses. Grrrrrrr :evil: :evil:

Is it...

So there I was top down, lovely sunny day, maximising the MX5 , when I had queue for some lights. What pullls up behind me but a Transit van with a very noisy diesel engine. COMPLETE LY ruined my quiet time. Next queue for the lights I was joined by a. noisy VW Passat diesel.

Is there no peace out...
