I assume that to get the best economy from a CX5, you want steady speeds and minimal braking. But what speed is best for a diesel manual version to get that economy? Is it cruising at 70mph (ie up and down motorways) or going at 50-60mph (rural inter-city roads) or perhaps going at 30-40mph...

I hope this is the correct forum for electrical questions! When I collected my four yearl old CX5 from the dealer after a safety recall, I mentioned that my Istop system ceased working a few weeks ago. The guy said the battery was probably a bit low, take the car on a long journey to charge it...

Many thanks, yes, I can get a card reader, I've now googled the item. But I don't need to anymore! It's a miracle, but the satnav started working again when I tried it today (Thursday)!!!!! All I can think of for a reason is this. Last weekend I accidentally left the ignition on at the G/F's...

Sorry for the delayed response (holiday). Yes, I can get the TomTom program on my computer, but how do I "feed" my SD card to the computer to get the information? I don't have any card-reading slots, just two USB slots......

So much for my local Mazda dealer! In hindsight, I should've asked the dealer to demonstrate to me that the system worked with a replacement card, or that the existing card worked on another car. Instead, I got myself the correct replacement card on Ebay (40) and that didn't work either! I've no...

(I trust this is the correct subgroup for this) On my 2014 CX5, the satnav stopped working recently, though I hadn't consciously used my Tomtom for maybe a year. Last week, the local Mazda dealer finally diagnosed a faulty satnav (SD) card. They didn't charge me for the day spent diagnosing this...

The dealer who supplier the lens cluster also gave me a photocopy of a page (presumably from a service manual) with an exploded view of the cluster and its two nuts. It's a little more detailed than the picture on the quoted website but actually doesn't show the plastic prong! Perhaps the prong...

I'm trying to replace the left hand rear indicator cluster on my GF's Mazda 3 as the plastic lens is cracked. The car is dated 2007 and unlike the examples on YouTube how-to videos, this cluster has only two mounting nuts, not three. I've undone the two nuts easily enough and the old cluster is...

My CX5 (diesel) is now almost three years old. Normally I have the info gauge at the extreme right switched to "Range" but out of interest, I recently changed this to "Fuel Economy". It currently reads 53.7mpg which I'm quite happy with but I note that after about four weeks of driving, the...

My Halfords 12 volt tyre inflator keeps blowing the in-line fuse in its plug when I switch it off after use, probably because it isn't rated high enough. Obviously the fuse needs to be lower than the fuse in the cigar lighter accessory circuit of my 2014 CX5 (the socket below the dashboard). So...

I know my new CX5 has running lights at the front and I can see the reflections when I'm behind a shiny car at the traffic lights. But do I have the equivalent, red running lights at the rear using, say, the normal sidelights? The brochure doesn't say so. When cars are behind me, I can't see any...

When I park on a narrow road, I nearly always retract the mirrors. On a couple of occasions when I didn't bother to, I returned to my car the next day to find that the driver's door mirror (the one sticking out into the traffic) was retracted but the passenger door mirror, by the pavement, was...

I hope this is the general forum. I understand how i-stop works for petrol engines----whilst the engine is stationary, some fuel is injected into one cylinder where the piston is nearest TDC and fired. But what about diesel engines? Being compression ignition, they require movement already to...
