Hi....I think?   Message List

Hi, Keith here.

Bought a V6 last week. One of those impetuous moves that happens
before you've had time to think about it. Not wanting to admit to too
much dysfunctionality... but I was looking for a van.
Don't work & live on incapacity benefit so this should be fun.

Car's beautiful, I'm already in love. (At least this one won't run
off & rip my life up)

Advice???

Is there a list of common probs that could save me time & poss money.
I get ptetty high revs (1500)starting cold, & they stay up for
perhaps 3 full minutes. Is that common?

Engine purrs but has got tapping. I've read a few articles that
present this as common & usually ignored. Any thoughts???

This car's clean, near immaculate except for a few stone chips.
97,000 FSH. Cam belt done 20.000 miles ago.
Should I be spending or just enjoying???
Thanks
Keith

Thanks Ian. I feel a little easier about my madness now. Do you know if there's a Haynes manual or similar for these? & what's the best way to source spares,...

There is a Haynes manual; I think it also covers the MX-6 and maybe the 626 as well. It is better than nothing, but I used to have the real McCoy - the Mazda...
