Thanks warpc0il big pete & paul.

The faults may be unconnected, the codes came up when some work was being done to it recently, dont know what code was shown. I'll check the connection in the glovebox area. any further thoughts welcomed.

cheers

hi, It seems that my srs restraint module( Air bag ) is showing a fault and that there is a code indicating that the ABS front sensors are not providing signal. Has anyone seen or had this fault occur? Is it possible that the srs restraint module was involved in work associated with a recall on air ...

Just to add to everyone elses comments. My 2003 RX8 is my third car. Its with my son in law at the moment, but providing it doesnt present a major problem its too fun to swap for a few hundred quid!

Hi, Not pounds but miles .Celebrated the big 100k on the M25 at a respectable speed last weekend. Original engine still going strong as are most parts from 2003( except a new lamda sensor,new master cylinder, refurbed alternator, lc rotary steering rack,new radiator and reservoir). My surprise and d...

hi Roosterrory, Thanks for your post. My RX8 has 'bubbling' sills. The corrosion is visible beneath the car and inboard so far. I have a quote to cut out and weld new metal in place once the rusting metal has been removed. When you refer to an inner sill are you describing a sill enclosed by the out...

Scary !

Whats the prognosis? Repair?

hi in the absence of a response regarding the ebay sill panels ( if its the same as I've seen the supplier is in Poland and advises that the panels are sourced from Mazda), here are my thoughts. RX8 sills will rust, and some people will need or choose to repair /replace them. The outer sills on my R...

Hi Riggs,

Happy to meet up some time. Impressed that you are fitting a new suspension!

Hi,
My user name was ROTOR. I'm in Hillingdon, West London. Not a bad guess!

My 2003 RX8 is nearing 100,000 miles as original ( almost).I thought therefore to register having been a former member many years back. The car is still my favourite drive, and i hope to keep it that way for a while yet. The RX8 may become less familiar on our roads but the Club will play a big part...

Hi, Can anyone recommend a body workshop in west london or in the adjoining counties to refurbish the rocker panels on my 2003 RX8?. Instructions on how to remove and replace the trim from above the cill to access the cill box sections would be useful,as I want to check these out and waxoyl if possi...

RX53XXX at Aldi West Drayton. looks like it was involved in a minor prang. does anyone recognise the registration of this Car?

Whats particularly great about the RX8 is the interest it commands across the spectrum.From casual complimentary comments from passers by, to dedicated owners who value the qualities of this distinctive car. How else can you explain the vitality of this Owners Club and this forum? The RX8 simply mes...

Titanium Grey at the OLD Orchard Harefield reg.EJ53ATZ .Almost as tidy looking as mine. Is it a club members? Obviously has as good taste in pubs as in cars!

Saw RX08 MAX at Sainsbury uxbridge today. Nice set of wheels. Anyone on here?

new battery on board after the old one wouldnt charge after a three week gap . the new battery made the car feel much more responsive, or is it just the difference between driving and driving an RX8? noticed that the car has a couple of small dings for being left in the street while away, thats next...

I got stopped on my way back to my RX8 which was parked up at our local Tesco's and answered a load of questions about the car from a guy who wanted to buy an RX8. Spent about 20 mins explaining that he should look up this web site, and that the Cars are a steal at current prices, especially the one...

Ive done 80,000 miles on the original 2003 engine today,with the same cat,and discs next stop 100k!

I used a CD lens cleaner and the autochanger is now working to specification! #-o #-o I was convinced it was a replacement job, due to its reputation! =D> I even got a quote for replacement (£700!) :shock: I also checked the firmware (95), next up an adapter for the Ipod, :idea: where can I source t...

The RX8 features as follows 1.the best handling car of the decade, 2 the tenth best performance car of the decade 3 the second best in terms of braking These conclusions w...

Ok ! I admit to skip reading while waiting for a train! will look again!

Best handling car of the (last) Decade

Yes ahead of the Porche 911, the RX8 is Auto express's best handling car of the Decade. We knew this all along, but its good to see it confirmed!

RX08 MAX in west drayton this afternoon, brightened up a dull day!!

Another thing that is almost unique about the RX8 is the relatively small differences in fuel consumption experienced in differing journeys/ driving conditions. For example a mix of short town drives and motorways normally results in 20 mpg. Long motorway journeys get to say 24-25 mph. If you can do...
