    Can you remove the battery without pulling the strut brace?

    Just like it says: Can you remove the Protege5 battery without pulling the strut brace? If so, do you then have to remove the air box? What's the quickest way to get the battery out of there. Thanks, Eric

    2003 Protege5 Shop Manual

    Does anyone know where I can find a PDF of the service manual for an '03 Protege5? I know the '02 is out there in several places, but I need it for the auto trans selector, which is vastly different between '02 and '03.

    Kelly Tires

    I need a new set of rear tires, so I took them into Belle Tire, asked them to replace them with the same thing (Yokohama Avid H4S) and asked them to match the TireRack.com price. They say ok, and tell me to wait a few days to get the tires in stock. I picked up the car yesterday and then...

    AT-won't recognize park

    Here's the deal. My 2003.5 Protege5 with the sport automatic transmission does not recongnize when the gear selector is park. The red box on the instrument panel lights up around M, D, N and R when in the appropriate gear, but disappears when you shift to park. When you go to start the car, you...

    Bike rack on hatch

    I know the bike rack question has been played out 6.23 billion times, but a search yielded no answers. The question: Can you use a hatch bike rack on the back of the Protege5? I'm concerned that the straps over the top of the hatch (supporting most of the weight) might crush my spoiler. Is...

    How do you say "Mazda?"

    I wanted to know if this was a local or a national thing. There have been a bunch of CX-7 commercials were the voiceover prounounces Mazda real weird. He says it so that the 'Maz' rhymes with Taz (Looney Toons character!). Anyway, it's definitely noticeable. Has anyone else seen these commercials?

    P5 Warranty

    I did a search and no obvious results came up...I'm kind of in a hurry. What was the warranty on the P5? I'm at 3 years, 3 months with 28K miles and both drivers and passengers seats have fabric separating at the seams. So does anyone know if the P5 warranty was 3 or 4 years?

    God save the auto industry!

    I just saw these billboards around Lansing. Apparently a doctor put them up as part of his born-again Christian beliefs. He honestly believes that people are worshipping the auto industry as a false idol. To me its a hilarious mockery of GM asking God to restore invention, productivity and...
