Road noise

The road noise at higher speeds is sometimes realy bad. Even at low speeds the noise is not good. I have changed the front tyres and it is still bad. I know the English roads are in a poor state [I.E. short of tar] and when resurfaced the noise is a bit better. Or is it the cars sound proofing thats...

Re: potholes

You may have a worn bush somewhere, if its fine driving on better surfaces I would get it checked when in for service. I sometimes get a bit of a thud on some of the roads where I live but the ride is ok over small holes. Saying that, it's much better than my wife's old Citroen [spit] DS3 which we s...

Hi HouseSpider,
Thankyou, I see you have a detachable tow bar on yours. Could I ask what you tow, and how does it tow?

Re: The end of the CX3?

That's funny, I was reading on the internet about a month or two ago, and it was said that because of the currency rate in Thailand that Mazda was closing the Thailand factory down and moving production to a new factory being built in Japan capable of making the CX3 cheaper, and there would be a gap...

I cannot believe that Mazda cannot supply lenses separate. I have a relation who runs his own garage in the UK, who tried to order a Mazda headlight lens as light was still in perfect order. Then was told he would have to order the complete headlight which had a small motor fitted, and with an enorm...
