Check Throtle positioning sensor. That too cause gear slipping problems

I'm hoping to bring down car stereo for my Mazda 3 (2004) from eBay. It costs about USD 250/- with shipping. Bit warring about the local custom duty Some People say it's 200% Please advise correct figures if any of you guys know about this subject??

Thanks "The Stig". Local custom duty for car stereos from eBay is somewhere 200% I guess. That's why serfing local market for same.

Dear Members, Please let me know a reliable place to fix aftermarket stereo to 2004 Mazda 3 which comes with inbuilt outer pannel. Most of the places have branded stereos but separate outer pannel. Please see sample photo attached. Mine had similar one and display gone recently. Couple of named Audio engineers returned saying beyond repair. Thanks in advance

M-V (M5) is the ATF for Mazda. But keep in your mind that 2nd quality fluid also in the market. Therefore always advisable to purchase from Agnets or well recognized / genuine place. Just drain & refill is ok. But better to clean the sump before add new oil

AFAIK Tokiko shocks are bit smoother than KYB. Recently I replaced my Axela's rear shocks with Tokiko & purchased from Nama***a motors

Thanks watchmen. This posts didn't update after 2010. Anyway I got one contact no from it a place @ Wattala. Shall contact him & put an update.

Hello Experts Just to check with you, whether any of you guys know a place to do Chromium Plating job for a plastic car shell? I checked with few places but they are doing only for metal parts!!

How about Nissan Tiida 2007? its general appearance is ok for me. whats you experts idea about rest ??

Thank you Zoom-Zoom

Hi Zoom Zoom, can you kindly tell me from where you normally buy spare parts for your Mazda 3? As i know that most of mazda owners say As*i M**ors & R**n B*w motors @ Panchikawatte

Thanks experts. Why do you all select Axela? Any particular reason? Coz basically what I know is 1. Mazda parts are bit expensive compares to Toyota, Nissan but no idea abt Mitsubishi! 2. Axela's ground clearance is low On what other areas you give + marks to Axela

Dear Experts Need your valuable ideas and opinion to select the best car from following options. My budget is 3 Mn and need an auto gear car 1.Mazda Axela 2004-2005 (1500 cc) 2. Nissan Tiida 2007 Sedan (1500cc) 3. Mitsubishi lancer CS2 / CS3 my main concern about the comfortable, fuel efficiency, maintenance & spare parts. I read some posts about Nissan Tiida CVT gear, which is very expensive to maintain, but some guys say its not. What you experts say? Thanks in advance

SORRY POSTED IN WRONG PLACE

Hi. steering wheel controls are working without any issue!! do you know any skilled electrician for this job??

my car (2004) information display is not working completely after installed new car stereo. they says it can not use any more as before the new stereo, information display got all signals through factory / original stereo motherboard. im also seeking answer for axela 1's question. appreciate if you know any place to fix this issue.

i check this with Ra*nb*w motors & A**ri motors both confirmed that there is no difference in Axela & Mazda 3 shocks. What do you think of using Shock spacers??

mate, the comfort, style, speed is much better than 121. In Sri Lanka 121 is over demand vehicle. im using mazdas for last 3 1/2 years and this is my 3rd Mazda in a row

If you can manage i know good guy in Maharagama - Piliyandala area. Good painter and very reasonable charges
