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, 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...

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 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...
