You can have a wearing out starter, defective (weak) battery. Just because you replaced it last year does not mean it can't fail this year, so have it tested.

It depends on what you are using it for. Bike carrier obviously does not need one but a trailer you want to be level after it is loaded. Do you will need either one with a drop or rise or level as no trailer is identical. Your main concern should be that it is more or less level at load so when...

If I recall correctly one magazine did a swap mazdaspeed into mazda 5 and their conclusion was they would not do it again. Basically everything is different from tranny to drive axels to cooling. You basically need a donor speed and remove all including electronics and gauge cluster and mount it...

Try new battery. I just had same and the battery I had spare was also dead :) Try a fresh battery in one.

Personally I use: Castrol Transmax Import. Had it in for about 3/4 of my cars life and so far ok. I did initial full flush with 2 gallons of that stuff and now change a gallon every two years just in case.

Perhaps. I don't use Mazda fluid as it does not seems to held up as well as aftermarket.

Lets see what the insurance says. Looks like about 3k of damage, hope they don't write if off if you need to keep it.

You can have a clog in a system, could be in a heater core or a radiator. Could also be a failed thermostat. Pressure test the system if you can, flush it and replace the thermostat as this will be a cheap start. If nothing, replace a radiator as they can be had for $100 or less. Heater core you...

Try to contact this seller: http://www.ebay.com/usr/detroitaxle?_trksid=p2047675.l2559 Maybe they can remanufacture your current drive axel, at least find out. Another option is to call few local junk yards and get a part from there.

2006 with that many miles... perhaps time for a new toy :)

You either have a two stroke engine... so should be blue smoke but much of it can be covered by a cat which will fail promptly or you have a massive oil leak or the oil is going into a radiator and mixing with the coolant. I really don't know a way to cover a loosing 1 liter of oil a week into...

Had a good 6 month of uneventful "driving" the car. Mostly wife drives it, but once in a while I have to as well. Finding out that the front seat cushion no longer provides adequate support. It feels really firm and is starting to give me butt pains even on short 20 minute trips. My other car...

Pricey. Hope it solves it for long time. I guess dealer labor rates aint cheap :(

I get 19mpm more of less consistent over the last few years from basically new. This car is not good on gas for its size, probably has to do with the old engine from ford.

Any of the million on Amazon of the plastic wedge type will work. I used this with good results: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HNMLQAG/?tag=m20b7-20 Also get a few of: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XDRXO82/?tag=m20b7-20 A coupe will brake for sure during the door trim removal and cost at the...

Bilsteins suppose to be slightly higher end. I'm going with that on my other car, mazda still on stock.

Dealers often just look at their bottom line. What does the corporate say, did you call?
