Fog Lamp lens by
Thomas Misek
While washing my 2001 Miata today I discovered that one of the Miata fog lamps had taken a rock and was broken. Can anyone suggest an alternative to a dealer replacement? Is it possible to just purchase the lens and not the entire assembly? I checked on Trussville's web site and they either sell...

Clutch? by
BRUCE HASKIN
No, it is as simple as the clutch "slave" cyl. Check the fluid first,
then if you go under the car by the right front wheel, you will fine the
"slave cyl." by the starter. Pull the rubber boot back, if it is wet,
you just need to repair it ( new one or rebuild it your self. ) Go to
Miata.net and...

The Miata is loaded with

Solar Battery Charger by

I am looking for specific recommendations for a solar battery charger,

Engine Management Light by
John
My daughter has called to say her light is on. I am confident that all
levels are fine and it is running smoothly - from Googling around it appears
to mean some sort of emission equipment fault.
Is it true that disconnecting the battery for a few minutes will re-set the
light? If it comes on again...

How the heck do these things work with a glass window? I've got an
almost new top on my 1992 with the zippered window and I really can't
see how the no zipper type would allow the top to be lowered.
Can someone explain it or do I need to go pester the dealer to show me
one?
BTW, as I said, my...

Clutch noise and belt by
Pat
A while back, someone answered a question about clutch squeal and attributed
it to a serpentine belt.
I bought a shop manual and can't find anything about a belt associated with
the clutch.
Can someone help?
