@mickthemaverick Thanks for taking the time to reply. I think I may have found the requisite part but won’t know for sure until I can get the car to the garage next week. Fingers crossed I’ll be up and motor running in no time but it’s good to have another contact should I need one. 

Hi, Thanks for the work and Good luck, my MX3 is also sold so farewell too. Best Wishes, Ed.

@mickthemaverick Thanks for your reply I will see if I can pick one up on eBay Regards Mushman

What’s the front seats like? My poor drivers one is well worn. @dangermouse said in New Member In Need Of Help: Hi. Are you still looking for parts for you 1.6? I have recently obtained a 1.6 which I was going to use as a donor car. More than welcome to help you with parts if you still need them.

If anyone else wants to know I can confirm they are M14 banjos with 9-10mm tails!!

Hi. If you are ever going past Royston, do pop in and show me your mx3.

If it has the power steering pipe diagram that would be brilliant, but If you can cut and paste just that diagram it would save a huge email and you could possibly just post it on here. Whichever suits you best would be great for me. Cheers

@jon103a Hi Jon, did you manage to find a rear trailing arm? If so, where? Ours has cracked and struggling to find one.

@melvink13404 Sorry, can’t help. Just saying Hi!

The PDF wiring diagram also refers to it as the "IAC" valve. Inlet Air Control maybe ?

Hello, I have had the same problem and after loads of phone calls to Mazda HQ i found out that each year for the mx3 v6 they changed some of the colours of the wires. The bulk of the wire colours are correct however there are a few that i have had to open the wiring loom to trace. With regards to the factory manual, make sure that your VIN is covered in the manual that you have as there are different ones. Some of the manuals have red covers, some have blue and there is a rare one in green, as told to me by Mazda HQ. I have seen the red and blue however mazda never allowed the green out of there sight. The only other option i can think of would be to obtain the microfiche for your car. Thats what i have done and i use them at the library to get information and printouts.
