    Am I ready?

    I came on here to post a question as to whether or not I should keep my P5. Interestingly, there are about 3 threads within the last 2 months about people asking or stating the same thing. Is it worth sinking another $1000 (CDN) into this to get it through the winter to fix various routine...

    Rusted fuel line

    Got a knock on my door from the police on a Saturday morning. Apparently my 03 P5 was leaking fuel and the fire department had to be called to investigate and deploy some absorball. Indeed, when I looked under the car, there was a fuel leak in the fuel line in the area just before the line goes...

    Diagnosing Check Engine Light without tool?

    Is it possible to diagnose the codes from the Check Engine light without the OBD computer tool? On my old Saturn, you could jumper a circuit and the dashboard lights would flash in a sequence that indicated which error code it was. My light came on today as I was driving, it started flashing...

    Battery and Air Filter replacement - Protege5

    I can't find any how-to's on here for replacing a battery and air filter on a Protege 5. I have a 2003 model and I want to save some cash by trying to do it myself. As a Saturn owner previously, this was pretty easy but opening the hood on the Mazda, it's looking a little more challenging...

    ABS and brake warning lights on... but after a break-in

    Here's an odd one. Lots of posts here about the ABS and brake warning lights coming on due to bad sensors. In my case, my car got broken into (only my $20 XM radio was taken, everything else was there, they must have jimmied a lock). But when I found out I'd been ripped off and started the car...
