<![CDATA[Merry Christmas]]>Merry Christmas to all remaining Mx3 members,and wishing you all a trouble free Mx3 motoring new year ,I have joined my local Mx5 owners club ,as there is member renovating an Mx3 and I thought that I could share /swop some of the parts that I have accumulated, They seem a friendly bunch and I did once own an Mx5 for my sins .My Mx3 is tucked safely away for the winter ,and as I live in rural Norfolk and the roads are diabolical during the winter months .My wife kindly treated me to having both doors resprayed as a birthday present,so I need to take care of the paintwork
Regards Mushman

And a Merry Christmas from me too, my car sits out on the road under its cover and I take it out once a week to keep it properly lubed and charged, I try to restrict it to dry days but sometimes I have to dry it afterwards before putting the cover back on!!

Just bought a complete set of genuine Mazda X3 workshop manuals ,I didn't realise just how big and heavy they would be ,I am going to get a bigger bookcase,too risky to leave in the garage,there are mice about .Soon be summer.

That was 10 years or so ago but the ankle has never regained full strength so a clutch is only possible for a very short journey so no good for my daily ride!
