Are beam deflectors required for EU travel? - CX-3 (2017) As there aren't any guiding lines on the glass, are deflectors required. I can't find anything to help on the internet.

I recently had the front pads replaced by a local independent shop for a cost of £114. The previous year I'd been quoted £225 by the Mazda dealer who'd carried out the yearly service. I declined then as the pads had enough miles left considering my annual mileage. This year's annual service was carr...

Many Thanks Hi Paul, If you are talking about the Infotainment software, then you have two options - either paying a Mazda dealer to do it or carrying out the update yourself. The la...

Hi, Not sure if this is the right place for a query re the Alternator, but here goes... Had a problem starting the CX3 this morning. Breakdown man came and identified the problem as the alternator. Rang my local Mazda dealer and they have to order the part which will take about a week!!!! I then as...

Just looked on YouTube and there seems to be two belts. Crank pulley driving Alternator etc. The other belt drives the water pump. Think the video shown is the MX5 so don't know if our cars are the same, But have a look https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4flPe3HMxvc I have seen Cx5’s with two belts. W...
