Headlight lamp by
Coyote
I am so stupid I cannot get the lamp out of the socket on my 1998
Miata. It does not seem to twist out and there appears to be no
retaining ring. There are clips but you cannot get to the one on the
fender side. I have had some bad experience breaking these clips off
in the past. Can someone give...

Torque wrench - which one to buy? by
Bruno
I'm looking for a good 1/2" torque wrench and so far I have only some
really cheap rubbish ones and some really expensive ones (like a Bahco
costing like 300+ US!).
I wonder if it will even make sense for me to buy it on-line and have it
shipped to Denmark - being that good tool shops seem not...

1999 Miata - Check Engine - Help by
Pat Dreiding[_2_]
I need a few words of wisdom about my '99. It has 65K miles on it. About
a week ago I did something that I believe was very stupid. I cleaned my
engine by hosing it down. The car ran ok for a little while, but then
stopped. The engine light was on. Yes - you guessed it. Water in the plug...

Daytime Running Lights by
Brian Minto
My 1994 miata daytime running light module quit awhile back, so I bought
another one from the dealer. I suspect that in the intervening years they
either changed the module color or came up with with an upgraded part which
had a different color to retrofit my 1994 miata. In any event, I cannot...

UK Mazda 3 Sport battery draining. by
Invisible Man
Our 2002 MX-5 used to get a flat battery if not driven regularly. Fixed
by getting a battery conditioner.
Our 2004 3 Sport suffers from a flat battery unless it gets regular long
journeys. Does not seem to be a problem if we turn the alarm off.
Last week the car was used for about 10 3mile...

Another check engine light - how to handle this one? by
[email protected]
Well my Miata is an '03 (Shinsen edition) with about 33K that I've had
since Feb '07.
Check Engine light came on 2 weeks ago. Decided to buy a code reader
(~$45) and read the alert code a few days ago, which came up as
P0455. This is "Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected (gross leak/
no...

Need tire/wheel advice, quick! by
S K
Went out to check my 2000 MX5, they're 14", tires are 185/60/14s, second
set of tires. But that is also what the label on the door says. So
original size also.

98 Miata Fuel Pump Cost? by
Ron
Has anyone had a fuel pump replaced recently? (only 80,000 miles on a
98)
Haven't got the price yet, just the diagnoses from where I had the
car towed to.
They don't have a price yet because they were closing.....it's a small
shop.
Towing is free, AAA, don't want to get ripped off.

Tail of the Dragon by
John McGaw
I made the run down to Bryson City / Cherokee N.C. area in my '06 Sport
taking my cousin to look for a site for her fifth-wheel camper. Advice:
if you are doing something like this with a passenger, first determine
their level of nervousness and susceptibility to motion sickness. While

Battery Tender by
Clark Friedrichs
I recently purchased the Battery Tender with the intention of mounting the
semi-permanent cable with the lugs on the end.
I'm still using the OEM battery and its battery lugs are considerably larger
than the lugs supplied with the tender. How did the rest of you with the
tender who installed...

Multiple Random Misfires by
Bill Gunshannon
I saw over on google that there was a discussion about this several
years ago. I seem to be getting the same error, but with different
symptoms. Mine is not at high rev but every once in a while it will
do it when I first start the car. Often after only a short time since
shutting it down. ...

Hole repair? by
XS11E[_3_]
My Westco battery should be here today and I plan to install it and
remove the tired Mazda battery currently <-pun not intended! installed
in the car. Since the Mazda battery requires venting to the outside
there's a neat little connection where the vent hoses come together and
pass through...

Hole repair? by
S K
I have a 2000 Miata, and I am pretty sure that my vent hose terminates
at a place that is integrated with the right side rear reflector.

Last night I found I had a broken headlight on the 1992 MX5. On my way
home I stopped at a couple of places to get a new one and found
AutoZone was out and their computer showed their other nearby stores
were also out.
I headed across the street to Walmart and found one there, they had

Battery Charger/Maintainer by
Jazz_Azz
Man, do I like the charger/maintainer that I had bought not too long
ago, and installed. It has gotten to the point where I seldom see it
giving my battery a quick hit. And I can let my Miata just sit there,
unused in the garage for a good two weeks, and when I turn her over,
it cranks up just as...
