    Where to get a copy of the service manual for Mazda2?

    Can anyone point to the right direction for a good service manual for the M2? i got on ebay and is just full of technical info. there is no torque values or procedures. i know the dealer would have an official one. most likely expensive. i did search here and found nothing so far.

    Water pump replacement

    timing belt and water pump replacement is worth the mechanic- they last over 150k... so you might only do it once in the lifetime of the car - assuming you drive the car to 300k. unless you really enjoy the process..... then yes of course do it yourself I paid $250.00 for labor to get...

    Coolant reservoir spitting out coolant (overheating issue).

    radiators are so easy to put in and the plastic one are cheap to buy. but if you want more, aluminum might be the way to go. but you got 300k on the car, will it be worth it? coolant is very toxic for the environment, try to fix the issue ASAP
