Not sure. There is an advisory from Mazda knocking around that probably has vin numbers on it. Someone will likely be along shortly.

Had the condenser replaced at the dealer in Yeovil today. Air con seems okay now but I was upset when I was checking the car over at home when I noticed that the bonnet shut lines across the front were well out. I spent an hour or two adjusting what I could (height of catch and slight adjustment of the top panel (attached to the grill). Looks better now but also discovered they had broken the plastic cover which fits over the bonnet catch by simply wrenching it off rather than using a small screwdriver to release the two lugs.
My question- would they have removed the bonnet and/or the front bumper to access the condenser? If so, it might explain the misalignment.

They should only have needed to remove the radiator to remove the condenser.

Thanks JT. Not sure if the shut lines were always a bit out across the front but I’m sure I would have noticed it when cleaning. Is there any way of adjusting anything to realign?

Ooh, sorry, I don't know the answer to that. If anchorman reads this thread, he may be able to reply with a Mazda pdf from his vast collection.

My problem has been a lack of a welcome pack but two emails and one phone call to Mazda customer services have proved fruitless.Not impressed.
Welcome Pack is simply a card with contact phone numbers and a leaflet. No goodies I'm afraid.
Just taken delivery of CX3 Sport Nav 2000 petrol manual in Eternal Blue Mica. This replaces my 21 year old Xedos Sport 2 litre V6.
