Re: Ante theft transmitter -posssible fault

Had to call for breakdown assistance the other day. A sudden mass of yellow warning lights and an alarm. Technician quickly diagnosed the fault as "ante theft transmitter". He "reset" it using his laptop--and the vehicle has been fine since. Technician suggested further investig...

Re: Boot panel removal process?

Many thanks for the feedback Julian. I suspected it will be necessary to remove the seal in order to get a tool behind to free off the panel. I did check inside the area where the scissor jack is located as it is right below the light fitting, using a magnet on a stick in the hope it would catch the...

Boot panel removal process?

Has anyone had to remove the plastic panel in the boot? How is it done? Problem on my car is that when changing the boot light bulb for a LED one I managed to drop the existing bulb inside the boot panel area when it sprung out of the spring contacts. For some unfathomable reason to me, Mazda in the...

Re: I-stop flashing.

Flashing I-stop appeared for the first time today on our 2016 Mazda 2 and the wife nearly Sh1t a brick. I have told her numerous times if the light is red then start to worry and don't drive the car. If it's orange then don't worry. So I guess it's new battery time. Is there anything special about ...

Re: Annoying placement of central console controls

Have the 2018 facelift and I don't find many issues with the layout, apart from the heated steering wheel switch being on the left. Would also be nice if you could still use flick wipe when its in auto wipe as we can with our old Volvo, though this does have a poorly sighted handbrake, being betwee...

Re: Annoying placement of central console controls

I'm curious to know why Mazda thought it was a good decision to place the controls nearest the driver's seat rather switching them to the other side and and putting the handbrake nearest to the seat? I can understand the placements for a LHD car but on a RHD car it makes no sense in my opinion. Mak...

Re: Regen's AGAIN..

If a brand new CX-3 had cost £250,000 or more then that £3,000 cost for replacing and recoding 4 injectors might be acceptable!
