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 Service Manuals. They are very good - worth
watching for on EBay.

Mazda prices are fairly high for spares, so it's usually better to try
the local motor factors for things like brake parts. I had a
stainless lifetime exhaust fitted to mine, but if that's too pricey I
would compare the Kwikfit, etc prices. But a word of warning. The K
series engines have an annoying drone unless they are fitted with a
genuine Mazda system - don't ask me why, but everyone agrees that's
the case. So it may be worth the extra to buy the Mazda system.
