Thanks for the quick responses. You guys waited until 100K+ miles? The owner's manual in the glovebox says 60K, so I figured that's when I'd do it. I guess I can remove the top cover and inspect the belt before I go tearing into the car and spending $230 on that kit, although that does look...

I need some advice. I'm a timing belt noob, I have only ever driven cars with timing chains that don't need replacing (silly me). My wife has a P5 that has 59,800 miles, so I figure it's time to replace the timing belt. The local shop that usually does good work for cheap wants $600-$800...

Foglight for Mazda Protege5/Mazdaspeed Protege, price lowered! A like-new foglight, from Depo, the OEM manufacturer. It cost almost $90 new. I bought this to replace one with broken glass on my wife's P5, and then the foglight circuit stopped working a week later. Frustrated, I just removed...

Hello everyone. My wife's 02 P5 has had a musty odor in it every so often for the past couple months. Didn't think anything of it because it wasn't really strong, and we couldn't find any wet spots inside. Well, it rained pretty hard all day Tuesday and the driver's footwell is soggy, and the...

Do you happen to have the grille in between the foglights on the P5, the one without the Mazda emblem? I'll take it if you do.
