    coilpack wire clips - where to get?

    Yeah, buying a full harness is outrageous. I only broke the locking tab. I've thought of a junkyard fix, just have to find the time to look. In the mean time the zip tie is fine.

    coilpack wire clips - where to get?

    In removing the coilpacks I inadvertantly broke one of the plastic clips that connects the coil low voltage wires. It's now held in place by a zap strap. I have searched this forum and found nothing. I have gone to a dealer and was told it was part of the wiring harness and not replacable...

    Original battery life

    My 2002 P5 is 3 weeks short of it's 8th anniversary with me. I bought it new July 3, 2002. Today, while on a day trip, the original Panasonic battery gave signs (almost didn't start) that there was going to be a problem. An emergency trip to Wally's world for a $77 MAXX35 and all is...

    What is the bracket for? Is there a need to buy the caliper with a bracket or can you reuse the one on the old caliper?

    Rear calipers - seized?

    I inspected my RR caliber to find out why it's tight and discovered that the 4mm allen key caliper piston adjustment will not turn (there was evidence of water and corrosion). New calipers are needed I guess. Rockauto sells rebuilt Cardone for $73 + $70 core without mounting bracket or $82...

    "ABS" and "! Brake" dash lights staying on?

    I just replaced mine and the part cost me U$80 + shipping from onlinemazdaparts.com. The CAD $215 + taxes for the part makes me burn. The left rear sensor is easy to replace. If anyone wants a written guide I could post one.

    "ABS" and "! Brake" dash lights staying on?

    I seem to have the same problem. Can you tell me what is CND price of the sensor. I'm thinking it's a fairly easy job and will attempt to fix it myself. I'm pretty sure the LR sensor is NFG. Also for others reading this: Is there a good on-line source of Mazda parts? I've looked all over...

    Replacement Keyless Remote

    I lost my spare keyless remote for my 2002 P5 and need to replace it. Couple of questions: - Has anyone found a good source for online OEM replacement? - My car is a Canuck. The model # on my remote is Model 41706 P/N BL8D 67 5RY. Same for US P5's? My dealer wants $150 Can to replace and $20...

    P5 drivabilty issues

    New P5 owner here. I have 1600 kM (1000 miles) on the clock. From the start I noticed some weirdness in the drive characteristics of the car. When starting from cold there is a slight hesitation up to 3000 rpm and then smooth. This lasts only a minute or so until warm. After 5 minutes of my...
