      Yes I found one in Lithuania and bought it thanks. However after swapping it out the window is still not working so I'm going to replace the relay next, when I can work out which one and where it is located!! Any ideas on that anyone?

      Is that the window opening switch? Mine failed but I got another off, you guessed it, eBay. A USA one so switches were reversed and stopped the passenger one working, but functional.

      Hi, I had the same problem last year with the transmission oil cooler which is mounted behind the grill in front of the radiator. I found a BMW 3 series cooler was very similar and I fitted it with a slight adjustment of the feed pipe bend. It has been working fine ever since.

      Hi David I have a 1.6 auto 1994 with 69000 miles on the clock. It went through an MOT last week with no advisories. It is always available to buy if someone offers the right price which I think is around £2.5k currently. I only have it to take to shows these days so I am happy to let it go to someone who wants that specific model.

      Hi you have obviously tried eBay ,you may well find that the sensor is common to other vehicles, maybe the Mazda 623 or even the mx5 ,worth a try Regards mushman

      Its a great feeling getting a pass for another year .I do plan to overhaul the rear brake calipers fairly shortly.what an amazing tribute to Mazda ,a car that's 28 years old ,and everything electric still works.I have been collecting old favourite cassette tapes, cruising with the ELO can't beat it Mushman

      My MX3 is due its MOT this Friday,so fingers crossed that all is well.Then hopefully get some nice warm sunny weather and go for a few long runs .At the moment I am struggling to get some new ignition leads as a mouse has chewed through one .If anyone knows of the best place to get a set I would be most great full,I have of course tried eBay.

      Hi the only thing that comes to mind is that the calipers could possibly need an overhaul, Getting a repair kit and replacing the piston and seals is relatively easy.I bought two second hand calipers fairly cheaply ,and took my time rebuilding them before fitting,brakes work perfectly now Mushman

      Hi jendight Hope you have had some joy with your Brake Master Cylinder. Not sure if you have tried your local main Mazda dealer. I find if they don,t have one in stock they will order one from Europe. Good luck!

      Hi Mushman Is it a rear or front caliper? My mechanic is having problems with my rear passenger caliper and has said that it will need replacing. Cheers.

      @mickthemaverick Thanks for taking the time to reply. I think I may have found the requisite part but won’t know for sure until I can get the car to the garage next week. Fingers crossed I’ll be up and motor running in no time but it’s good to have another contact should I need one. ![alt text](image url)
