Here's a bit of weirdness. My 1997 car sat a bit higher at the front than at the rear, so I assumed the springs had sagged. I was given some springs from an earlier (1990) car which measured exactly the specified free lengths and therefore couldn't have sagged. On fitting these the F/R...

Problem - Car has been pushed into a non-paved carport, suspension has been removed first, now the engine needed to be pulled to be sold. The customer has a lift, but it will not roll at the front of the car and there is not room to back his truck up to it. Bad planning, if I had backed it in,...

could anyone tell me how to remove the cigarette lighter from a 2004 MX5. We think the earth wire is no longer connected so need access. Fuse is intact but no power to the lighter.

I recently changed my fluid in the transmission with Vfalvoline Synthetic Blend Gear Oil 80W-90. Now the transmission is very hard to shift into 2nd when it's cold. After a few miles of driving, it's fine. Also, prior to taking off the tranmission can shift into 2nd with no problem. But once I...

This one seems hard to believe, not? http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070207/sc_nm/cars_fuel_ford_dc Although the Dutch are the most reliable people, who would be unlikely to make a claim that was not fully warranted scientifically. Leon --

My EGR light goes on whenever the gas tank drops below 1/2 full....I fill it up and the light goes off....anyone have any ideas??

Okay, so I finally did the brakes & rotors and I have a few questions. 1.) I bought OEM pads so they came with shims. However, I noticed that when I took the old ones off, there were no shims on them. Is it okay to put pads on without the shims? Also, when I got the parts, the little springs...

Just yesterday I noticed a potential problem with my clutch. It seemed like it was getting worse as I drove to work today, but I may have just been getting paranoid. In any case, it's not like it normally is. The first symptom I noticed is that the clutch engages almost immediately when...

My right rear brake has started to drag and the brake idiot light has lit up. Best guesses as to the cause? My Miata is a 1990 which hasn't had any work done on the brakes in quite some time, so I suspect perhaps the guide pin(s) are not sliding smoothly, but that's just a guess. -- "The...

Hello, everyone. This might be a rather dumb question, but well, here it is anyway. I know for sure the gas mileage drops if I turn on the air conditioner, but is it true for the heater as well? Some say that's not the case for the heater, because the engine doesn't work any harder even if I turn...

Sorry to spam the group.... These 93 LE OEM accessories are getting kind of rare so I thought I'd post the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130078156711&ssPageName=ADME:B:EF:US:11 Thanks.

Bought 'em and installed 'em: Mazda part#: N123-V7-050F (Mazda list: $115.00, I got 'em for $93.75 from dealer parts) I liked having light in footwells on my NB (for me, helps finding stuff that slips off passenger seat on way to meeting once you've parked in dark underground garage). The...

Just this last Saturday, I was driving along and started having an issue with shifting down from 3rd to 2nd. It is like the syncro is completely gone for that shift. I can shift down without grinding the "old school" way, but just trying to pull it into gear it grinds as if I were trying to...

Hi I need some advice: 91 brg that I only get to drive occasionally, and have had problems with batteries. I bought a new WestCo battery last year and put one of those priority start auto disconnect devices. The battery discharged to a level that even with the priority start
