Hi It could be reacted to Electric Current Circuit as I came across the same related to Mazda models after 2005. Hence if that's the case then there a lot to look in to. Best is to give a visit to either Colonial or Mazna Motors.

Having had to live with a N16 ( When I say this, its due to the fact I made some decisions that I had no option at that time) I can share the below. * fuel economy is CRAP - if you are looking for N16, try to get the 1.5CC or better version * Looks - nothing much and very bland *Parts are relatively cheap and available very freetly There are better options out there in the market, do some test driving and take time to do a good research and most importantly , go with what makes you happy in the sense of look and feel - Got the mechanical aspects checked by qualified person - not a maka bass. (Sorry Cant Mention names but It starts with Car Ch%$#)

Hi With regards to the engine oil, strongly recommend Castrol as said by the agents. On previous models such as the BJ , slug buildup was there for engines which used Mobil . Best avoid fully syntactic oil completely. castrol magnatec is a good oil and can run up to 10K without an issue but I changed in 7-8000. stick to the ratings mus as possible as the velocity is critical. As for the gearbox, Well I totally disagree with concept of "Lifetime" as said by one member, it means 50,000K . Having said that u need to ensure that you have the correct brand and oil type specified by manufacture. I had to suffer from a case where the previous owner not using the Mazda MV oil. Did a lot of research and found out that the MV or M5 oil velocity is different form other oils who claim it is compatible. Hence don't risk and try to get the correct oil. Also note the interval would be best changed at least 30-40000 Km simply due to the heat condition we have here along with the lovely traffic . PS not trying to promote the brand but just the simple fact that type of oils do have it;s own characteristics . Please delete if not allowed

I beg to differ - As you said most Maka Bass fellows mess it up and give you wrong advice. eg. The tiptronic box in the BJ series required the V grade oil, simply because of vilocity - any other oil would generally mess it up - the price is hefty to get it sorted. Same with the engine oil - synthetic will not go well specailly a well known brand - Nothing wrong with the brand but not suited for BJ Hence go to some one with knowledge on Mazda's the naturally would be Mazna and now there are several off shoots who are equally or even better now in the market

Are you referring to the Lemon Green color one ? Simply if the car is in good shape and the same has been maintained well, I for one don't see a reason to go for it just because it's green . Personally Like the color and would not give 2 hoots about what others think - I'm sure that when you want to sell, there would be someone who fancies it - That is if you have kept her in the condition she ought to be.

Thanks Deveinda Will try it out.

Got kids but this was not done by them, It was after it went for a service if I recall correctly, as it happened some time back. Most all 4 doors have it bit the effect is less in some doors. Thanks for the tips, shall try some of it and update. I know Maquairs is a god product and Ive seem some outlets marketing them as well.

No Not a pic issue - I also felt that someone has used a harsh Chemical to clean it .

HI Guys, Seeking some advice on removal of marks off the door panel - Does any one know how I could remove the marks . It's a plastic Trim form a Hyundai Tuscon.

Not too sure if this will help but there is a guy on highevel road - When coming form Colombo towards maharagama, passing the overhead bridge - Apx 200 m, there is a guys who does remotes. - Its on the left hand side / opposite the apartment complex . Good luck

I too met him when I had my Mazda, concur what has been said by Rez with regards to Mr. Rajeev - a nice person to have a cat about cars ( Maybe other stuff too :-)

are these still available? if yes from where Please ?

If the 2018 Demio is with Sky active - they you would be getting better mileage for sure. If not mistaken the Demio comes with a 1.3 L engine as opposed to a 1L in Vitz. Demio also comes as Mazda 2 in a slightly different variant from Demio. As iRage said - Demio is above the Vitz grade in all aspects.

Should they ????

Congrats On the New Ride- She does look amazing . At the same time bit sad you leaving the Mazda Family ?

Tamiya have a shop in Battaramulla junction - closer to Pizza Hut- try they tend to have parts but not too sure if it's only for the same brand.

@ Chathuai - sent u a PM

I'm no Honda expert but I feel you should stick to taking the guy to a Honda Expert (Honda Related) - Not all tune up guys can fix issues - A one fits all policy does not work. The simple fact that he could not locate the scan port means he has very little experience with Honda's . Hence sometime you may replace the O2 sensor for no reason where as the problem may lay somewhere else. Glad to hear that most of the issues are sorted.

I Don't think Colonial would be an option for engine replacement with a recon- as advised best best is Mazna Motors. They have the parts and experience to deal with any Mazda issue. Also state your vehicle please it helps other to give you more inputs. Transmission - having had a tiptronic box with heaps of issues, I can clearly recommend Nilwala for gearbox repairs- many have confirmed their satisfaction. But keep in mind he Simply does "gearBoxes" not like the chaps who claim to be able to do any fix. PM me if you need options

Well since it’s that important for some to use Laugh oil , I suppose it would be OK to use for your QQ, Maruti and stuff ( Not offense ) but best stick with known brands for the Jap/European ladies - even for Korean Ones.

@ Romello -Sorry for going a bit OT and hijacking the original question . Pl dropped u a msg also with a contact but cant' recommend as I'm in the blues as well. Is it recommended to repair the steering rack or replace with a used rack. Getting mixed feedback. Would some one know/ share some information for a Nissan N 16 - Nissan N 16 rack repaired or replaced - How do I check a recon one to see if it's good . Some advice would be helpful Thx

Sweet ride - congrats on the new purchase.

Like Sig has said, have a chat with him and let him do a test drive, He will fix it if it- naturally if it's something minor, you may have to live with it. also when driving do you simply put your foot on the accelerator and let it increase speed ? I had a habit of taking it off and pressing down - this help increase speeds much faster and shifting was better for me. may be it's not the correct thing but worked for me.

Yes - you can use the size, I've had 195 /60/R15 so should not be an issue

Does any one know how/where to get the map for a 2014 Mazda Axela ?
