I had the clutch replaced this last spring/summer at a private repair shop that I've used a number of times. A couple days ago, my wife couldn't get the car started and thought the battery was dead. It wasn't. The clutch switch was not being actuated when the clutch pedal was pressed to the...

first of all, forgive my ignorance. I bought this new 2014 mazda CX5 GT and few months ago and was unhappy as it was giving only 22-23 mpg. Today only I figured out that I was using an online calculator which was in US gallon. I tried the imperial one and Voila..!!!! I am getting 28-29 MPG which...

Guys, my p5 is getting very oil hungry recently. I think my rings and/or seals are going, not sure im not really a mechanic. I just took it on a 250 mile trip and it drank through about a quart of oil. Its to the point now that every full tank of gas I use goes a quart of oil. Any advice you...

Hi there- My signal lights aren't working. Do you know where the flash relay is located? I found a website that says it's in a grey box under the driver's side dash. But, I do not see a grey box. Thank you, Ramona Murphy

My car has developed idling issues over time and one day didn't start. I had to leave it with my brother a few hours away from home and want to get it worked on. The day it refused to start, the starter was turning over but the engine never fired up. I'm a little beyond the recommended tune-up...

I know there is already a guide on how to replace the front rotors and brake pads, however, I was trying to find a guide for the rear. After paying the dealer about $400 to replace the front rotors and brake pads, I decided to do the rear ones myself. This is my first DIY project ever, so I...

Just wanted to ask you guys what you all have heard of price wise and how much you all have paid or sold your p5's for. I love my car and worked very hard on it but I think its time to pass it down. My aunt is thinking about buying it from me and giving it to my cousin, he's turning 16. I...

Hey guys, I was wondering what a 2in drop would look like on a protege. Right now I'm sitting at stock height with all original struts etc. I've found some Megan racing springs cheap.They say its a 1.9in drop so I figured It'll be like 2in. Would it also be safe to drive on the stock struts...

Question, So I don't know why this might be exactly but for some reason when I turn on my HID lights at night my radio all of a sudden goes staticky as hell. I know its cause of the amperage draw because when the lights are off the radio stations work perfect! I do have a short antenna which...

Hey guys, new to the forum. I just bought a 2002 mazda 626 and it makes a clunk sound when I first start to accelerate. Also when I'm going 30mph+ if I lean my head out the window a little bit I can hear it making a very faint ticking sound that gets faster as I go more the 30mph. Also about the...

So for some reason both lights on the left side of my car, probably cause my autobody guy sucked after getting t-boned, but the small white turning light and the big orange unlock/lock light, went out... sorry I think there called the side marker light and not sure what the other one is...

Hey I was in contact with a guy from this site and he stopped replying to me recently. I found out I have a bent rim and was looking for anyone who might have swapped some aftermarket rims with the stock and have them laying around. I have a 2003 p5, they are the 16" alloy rims and really would...

Hey so I have to take my car in to renew the registration. I was just going to ask some of you all with aftermarket parts on... I'm just wondering if I'll be able to pass my emissions check with my header installed. I mean I know I have two cats in there but feel like I most likely wont be...
