Re: DRL's

This is the first car I have owned with DLRs-I can't quite get used to the need. I can easily tell if I need lights in the daytime and in every other previous car I have owned have been perfectly capable of switching them on or off according to weather, time of day etc. Yesterday though, I felt unco...

Re: Cost of 2nd Annual Service

Mazda Harpenden 3 year service cost is £540, including oils. However that obviously will not include the MOT , 3 years hence. ....
Important to remember that vehicle is under guarantee during this 3 year period.

Re: blue coolant light

Most amusing the way this has foxed so many! One of the most notable things about this very visible blue light is that all drivers notice it and on first experience of the glow will initially think( as indeed I did ) that it was either a warning light of some sort or even the ultra familiar bluey no...

Re: My Mazda

Yeah--downloaded app-tried to register by uploading V5 --nothing!...who cares? I will delete it. In any case this site is just as if not more useful--and it's good to know that once bought--Mazda vehicles details are on the Mazda system--that is assuming you decide to use a Mazda dealer for servicin...

Re: blue coolant light

Thanks for this answer-wish it was in the handbook. A bit surprised that coolant is at operating temperature after ONLY a minute--was previously wondering if the light only went out-once system had identified that water pump was fully functional with sufficient coolant was present? The handbook says...

Re: First service costs?

Thanks-this is informative--good Am I right in thinking then that by "no routine consumables" you mean oil, coolant op up, windscreen washer top up etc ? and IF you were found to be needing new brake shoes --then that would involve both the parts and the labour? In summary, the actual serv...
