All, I have done countless searches with no luck and I figured I would just ask the question. Can someone tell me the bulb # for the glove box for a 2010 Mazda 3? A place (link) to buy it would be helpful as well because none of the stores I went to yesterday even stocked it and I imagine the...

How are the cooper's holding up? The last time i replaced my wife's 5 tires, I put Michelins on it. They had a very small profile and they were very brittle. Side wall deterioration was rapid. Considering what I paid for them I was expecting more as I have always been a Michelin guy. Would you...

I agree with the "brittle" comment on the Michelins. It was at about half way through their lifespan when the sidewalls, close to where the tread is, started to show signs of deterioration. My wife's car (5) is at 84K and I will be on my third set of tires (including the OEM). Im going to go...

I am looking for suggestions for replacing the factory bulbs in my 2010 3. One of them blew out and I am planning on replacing both. I am looking for some brighter/farther reaching bulbs without that obnoxious super white color or blue color. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks guys. I apologize for not responding sooner. I was not receiving alerts from the app. Is the service manual available online? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I need some help. My wife's 2009 5 was in an accident and the hood was replaced. It appears that the tubing that connect to the sprayers gets pinched when the hood closes and no fluid comes out. When the hood is up it works. I just think they just hooked it to the wrong spot. I have basically...

So a few months ago my wife managed to knock off her rearview. I was able to remove the window mounting bracket but I have not been in able to re-attach the mirror to the ball joint. I have tried Vaseline along with brut force and I couldn't get it to work. The arm receiver was slightly bent...

It is time to replace my battery on my 2010 Mazda 3. I am looking for recommendations for a battery. I have had great success with die hard batteries in the past but most of my other vehicles have been trucks. Any advice on a good battery are appreciated.

Looking for recommendations for replacement tires for my 2010 3. I have gotten nearly 70K miles out of the Bridgestone Turanza's that came stock. I really didn't mind the way they performed. I am looking for the best bang for my buck and not super concerned about performance just looking for a...

Hello folks, I have a Question. I just got a personal cell phone which i carry during the week along with my company phone. Both are paired to my car, but it seems that my iPhone has taken over the sync rather than my work phone (blackberry). Here is my question. Is there a way to have it...

So it has come to that time that I need to replace the tires on my wife's 2009 5. I feel like they should have lasted longer than 35k miles. This vehicle is used mainly for running around town, and it is our "road trip vehicle" when the family goes home for x-mass etc. I am looking for the best...

I Just got a new Blackberry from work (Blackberry Bold) from Verizon. Every time I get an incoming call and I hit the pickup button, it hangs up the phone. I also can intermittently not place phone calls. Lastly When I have my Ipod connected as well, and am listening to music and a phone call...

OEM is the way to go...for some reason I actually came here a few days ago to look this very problem up. I too had put on an aftermarket blade. When my wife brought it in for the Recall repair I told her to buy a rear blade based on responses above. OEM blade works perfectly.

Hey folks. Anybody have any luck hauling lumber in their 5? I am going to gave to pick up some 2x4's this weekend, 8 footers. I haven't really checked to see if they will fit, but I imagine that I could get them in on an angle from the back corner to the front...somehow. If I do Ill sure post...

Hello All, I recently started a new job which will require me to carry equipment in my car. I am trying to find a good liner that I can fit in the trunk of my 2010 3, preferrably with a lip that runs up the side a few inches. I have the 4 door (not the hatch) and am wondering if anybody has...
