Hi Chris, and welcome to the club.. Yes, there is a common problem on 92-94 cars regarding the rear calipers.. it is the handbrake linkage that siezes... but...
Hi That was a fast response - thanks! Did a bit more research as well - local Mazda dealership has only ever replaced 1 caliper on a 2000 model 626 and it was...
Hi Chris, glad to hear it's sorted.. £200 would be from a Mazda dealer.. They can be bought for around £100 from motor factors.. and an occasional squirt of...

There is only one main engine grounding wire... this goes from the cambelt side of the engine, and bolts near to the top of the strut tower... there are two...

Hello again John, It is the 'wide band' aspect of the cheap sensor that i'm not sure about. It is a 4 wire effort though. Cleaning the sparkers and the air...
