There are plenty of companies on the internet selling good quality high tensile metric nuts and bolts with coarse and fine threads and considerably cheaper than Mazda, you should be able to find a local company or go mail order.

back!

There are some that owning an RX-8 really gets into your blood even my present car owned for 12 years I occasionally think should I sell it and I look at what else is available and that makes my mind up to keep it.

I use a 7 stage BUDDYGO charger on my 911 and the RX-8 and leave them permanently connected so the batteries are fully charged when I take them out.

Fully automatic charge selection they will even charge a Lithium battery - Amazon £23.59 inc delivery.

I did think of clamping stainless steel braid around the pipe work either side of the cat because its difficult to cut with a saw it just shreds but again its down to how determined they are to get it.

Fuel starvation has occurred in certain cornering conditions with less than 1/3 tank of fuel. This manifests with the engine losing power for a few seconds. Extensive investigation by RX-8 OC members has concluded that clogging of the fuel filter with increasing mileage is the cause. There is no se...

Windscreen sealer

The only thing I would suggest is that any adhesive/sealer you use should be flexible when set to allow for different expansion/contraction rates of the glass and bodywork.

I get the impression with VOSA that a certain number of cars with a fuel leak is nothing to really get excited about they will contact Mazda who will probably know nothing about it. * * Del. The current situation is that Mazda are stating they were aware of only one other tank leak, post recall, pr...

I can`t really remember the others as it was too many years ago but actually in terms of the 40th Anniversary car for the last 12 years I would say 11/10ths.

I get the impression with VOSA that a certain number of cars with a fuel leak is nothing to really get excited about they will contact Mazda who will probably know nothing about it, now if a certain number of cars had actually caught fire then there may have been a different reaction.

Mine took a lot of force. I had to look it up twice to make sure I wasn't breaking something because it felt like I was.

Was that the whole lamp unit or just the lense?

I had seen that but its just for LED bulb replacement after removing the lense.

Del.

So just lever them out each side with a plastic trim tool or a thin blade?

Basically I want to know if the lamp units can be removed without removing the bumper - I have some LED replacements that have some sort of clip each side but I cannot see how they are held in place.

Does anyone know how to remove the number plate lamps ie the whole assembly not just the lense if so does the bumper have to come off?

I am liking the look of this even if it is a Chineeez electric MG E - motion The original concept had a range of 310 miles and could do 0-62mph in less than four seconds, thanks to a twin-motor set-up delivering four-wheel drive. Due in 2021 which is not far away. * * Del. 2-mg-e-motion.jpg

That lump is a bit high but whenever there is a problem with engine conversions there usually is an obvious solution to deal with it!

I wonder if he has really thought this through! 7.3 Litre Diesel RX-8

After changing the bulbs to LEDs twice one has failed, one time it caused an MOT failure then I saw these the other day for the RX-8 (never seen them before) so I have bought two sets so the originals will be replaced and a third added.

After owing one or two other RX-8`s I made the decision to buy either the R3 or a 40th Anniversary and after a test drive I wasn`t that keen on the looks of the R3 and the 40th was heavily discounted compared to the R3 so I bought that with the intention of keeping it, I have always held the belief ...
