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...
Hi Keith, I no longer have my MX-3, but I have fond memories. It's a fine car and you should have lots of enjoyment. The high revs starting from cold are...
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...
Hi all, I've not posted for about a year due to illness and been set back due to some arse who ran into me and wrote off my 92 MX3. So I am the owner of a 93...
Hi all, started the car today.Would not start with the chipped ecu but started on the K8 ecu, but idle is eratic.Will try tomorrow with my ecu code reader to...
Hi, I have a V6 engine and one of the plugs gets oily and oil consumtion is large. The vehicle was left on the drive for two years and I'm thinking the piston...
Do a compression test on the cylinder - may as well do it on all of them. If that one is down on the others, you are probably correct. ... is large. The...
Hi Andy, Sorry to hear the chipped ECU didn't work, but it sounds like you suspect the ECU, rather than the chip, which is likely, as the chip came with a very...
Just won a "chipped" ecu on ebay (its a risk but at £31.00 and the guy had 100% feedback, I thought I'd take a chance).If this fails to work I might take a...
Hey guys, My MX-3 makes a clicking noise when on full lock, and wobbles a bit at high speed, like the wheels are unbalanced. I understand that this is ...
If it clicks, it is the joint. A damaged boot has a gap or rent in it, which lets the dirt in, which does the damage to the joint. If there is a damaged boot,...
Hi Again. Just lost the (only) key for my MX3. Is this a coded chipped key?? Either way, how easy (or difficult) is it to obtain a replacement? I'd be very...
... How old is your car Keith? Transponder keys are usually from "P" reg onwards. Looks like you'll need a lock set (ignition,2 doors, tailgate,and maybe fuel...
Thanks for the advice. My pocket paniced for a while but fortunately next doors kids found my keys in their hedge yesterday evening. I'll get some cut today...
Im in the process of getting my MX-3 1.8 back up to scratch for its MOT, and I want to put new brake pads on it. Should I pay out for performance pads? If so...
Hi folks, well some B£&%*d has done my V6 over. I'm looking for an Off- side headlight and a nearside wing mirror (preferably in black). Can anyone help out? ...
Hi All. I recently purchased a MX3 (1.8 V6 )which the former owner was going to scrap, i have spenta few £££s on it with MOT etc etc and it recently did a...
Hi Dale, One thing this could be is a small slit or tear in the corrugated rubber hose between the air measurement valve (the VAF) and the throttle body. If...
That would be ideal Ian..Just let me know how you want payment..Paypal ? And if you have some idiot proof instructions as to where this part is that needs...
Hi Dale, PayPal will be fine. Please send to ian.linden&virgin.net. Replace the & with an @ - Just my feeble attempt to reduce spam :-) And email me with your...
