SO, i blew both my front struts on a pothole a couple weeks ago, i need to take it in to have fixed. Mazda just quoted me 650 for the job (less tax). But if i bring in my own parts, it will be just labour. It's getting too cold out to do the work myself, otherwise i would try it. Can anyone...

Last winter (Dec 2010) I had to replace both sliding door actuators and latching mechanisms due to cold weather and water issues. I just learned this was a recall on US Mazda 5 cars back in 2006!!! but not the Canadian models? what gives? it was 1400 that i had to dish out for this and the...

Ive been looking in the GTA area in canadian tire, and ebay, but no one sells a can of spraypaint that will match my platinum silver paint (22R). I have a JDM front lip i want to paint to match the car.. and would prefer to do it myself and not take it to a paint shop. Any help would be great!

Ive got a question. I just washed my MZ5 for the first time this year, at least a thourogh wash and dry. And of course, you get the nagging pin head sized yellow and orange break dust dots. I was hoping someone had a good experience with a wash product that would take that stuff off without...

Alright, im in the process of researching putting a carputer (mp3car.com) into my 06 mazda5. I want to retain some of the functions of the radio controls on the steering wheel, and map them to a matrix which then passes the command to the pc. My problem is, im not sure where to start. I did a...

I have a 06 mazda5, fantastic car if I do say so myself.. but sometimes, i treat it like its a bit more of an suv then a mini-minivan... Anyhow, I was out with the wife over the weekend to go get hard wood, and I took the wrong driveway to the store... But there was a connecting dirt incline...
