Sadly, this morning a squirrel decided to commit suicide as I was driving to work. As a result, the lower grill on my '07 was damaged. I have looked for a replacement, but the only replacements are billet grills for an '08+. Is there an inexpensive way to fix my problem? Looking at trading...

I would like to fix the flip out part of my key. Do I need to get a new end cut and programmed or can I purchase a new end and take it apart to put my already cut key in there? Where is the "chip" part of the key? And if I have to purchase a new end and have it cut, can I program the new cut...

I have noticed that here recently my radio and ac control panel backlights will surge. They don't dim at all, just get really bright for a very quick moment, and then they go back to normal. Sometimes they will flash multiple times in a row. Sometimes it flashes once then not again for a...

I noticed that the battery in my retarded flip out key was dieing slowly and it stopped working unless i was right on the car and pressed the unlock button multiple times. I went to walmart, took my key apart at the counter, put a brand new battery in it (#1620). Tried to unlock or lock car...

Just in case anyone cares, Wray Mazda will make you wish you didn't own a Mazda! If you take your car in and ask them to do something they will screw you! To being, I traded a perfectly good Protege off for a Mazda 5 (my avitar). I went to look at one, and they practically forced me to take...

I have been toying with the idea of putting the tow bar on the 5 to pull my atv and jetski...at different times of course. I have read that the 5 is not supposed to pull anything really, but it can pull up to like 1200 lbs. I was wondering if I should invest in a universal transmission cooler...

I am looking for a quiet performance upgrade to replace the exhaust on my Mazda 5. Is there such thing or will I have to go the custom route?

So I have been noticing how the front passengers in my '07 5 all have the same complaint...no arm rest. Is there a way to add an arm rest? can i buy an '08 passenger seat w/arm rest and swap the '07 out? will the '08 fabric pattern match the '07 interior fabric pattern?

What manufacturer makes these wheels? I can't seem to find anyone who sells a similar wheel, nor can i find a set for sale anywhere.

When I purchased my 5 used, there was only one key that came with the car. I have been thinking, and now have some questions... 1) The smart key is basically a three button fob with an integrated key. Could the fob off of my 2003 protege, also a three button fob, be programmed to work in...

do the aftermarket grounding kits actually benefit a vehicle?

so i noticed that when i'm sitting at a light and the compressor for the a/c kicks on, the car shakes a little like it's about to shut off. also i have noticed that when you are moving, the a/c is cool, but when you are sitting a light, it gets warm until you start moving again. are these...

so...as i have said in another post, i purchased my 5 pretty much off the trade in truck...at a mazda dealership. that being said, i drove it home on thursday last week with a "due bill." took it back on wednesday evening. they fixed the front bumper from where someone drove up on a curb, and...

does an aftermarket sway bar really help with handling? not really going to race the MZ5, but I would like as much driving enjoyment as possible when the little man isn't in the car.

does anyone know if the keys off ebay for the mazda5 will work. when i bought my 5, there was only one key, and the dealer told me that they could get the keys at cost for me, but cost is still $140. stupid expensive keys!!! and who can cut them?

traded my 2003 protege es for a 2007 mazda5 touring yesterday. i'll miss the protege, but the 5 is so cool. everyone calls me a soccer dad now, but i don't care. it has the room i desired, and the 5 yr old has plenty of room. he liked it when i brought it home. and the soon-to-be wifey...

I have what seems to be a very common problem with the sedan version of the Protege, which is that after time, the trunk begins to leak and the side pockets tend to retain water. The reasoning for this statement is that I am considering trading my car for a P5, not due to this condition, but...

i am thinking of looking at trading my 03 es for an 03 p5. only issue i'm having is that the p5 is an automatic, and the my current is a manual. how much slower is the manual versus the automatic? i don't race anymore, but i do like to accelerate rapidly from time to time. and is the gas...

so...my 03 es has about 75,000 miles on it now, and it seems to have picked up a rattle when accelerating. right around 3,000 rpms and then again around 4,000 rpms. i thought it was a heat shield, but i got under it and it's all still tight. i thought maybe the exhaust has broken free inside...

ok...so just when i think i'm going to get to either save some money, or pay something off, i wind up having to spend money. my clutch feels very funny. i'm not really sure what has happened to it, but it seems very weak. it's like the friction point is gone. guessing that i may be in need...
