Hi, mine was stuck when i bought my mx3, i used wd40 let it soak for while then kept trying spin/rotate it till it freed up, then it would retract fine once it broke free. I did by hand as i think tools would easliy have snapped it, I have one spare which works but has crack in the plastic that screws to the roof if interested £20?

@jono cheers I will have a look in to that

I'd give the engine flush a try first and see if it helps, with the v6 it's possible to take off the Cam covers, remove the cams and take out the HLA's then service them, but it's a fair bit of work. When I rebuilt my engine last year, I stripped the HLA's down, there were mixed reviews about whether this is a good idea or not, but it wasn't all that hard if your careful, they key is to make sure you soak and pump them with oil before putting them back. The reason they get sticky is old oil gums up inside them, then they stop compressing and pumping the oil through themselves, regular oil changes can reduce the problem. Jono

I take it you do have ABS? Check the fuses are OK, check the small ECU under the passenger (I think) is there, plugged in and no obvious faults.

Is this what you are after?https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/28268...

Hi Daryl, I have just sent you a message regarding this. Thanks Jono

Hello, I would suggest going to get some from a scrapyard to see if it cures the problem, if it does not then you haven't spent a load of money, if it does then you can get the new ones.

After searching for a klze for years and finding I have either not got the money at the time one is for sale or missing it completely, I have finally given up :( So I settled for a DE, all I need to do is source a ecu that will run on a obd1 loom and use a je50 vaf Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I'm interested in this :)

Hi guys it's good to know that the forum is to be kept going and revamped at some point I guess mx3 owners are getting rarer and rarer ,and by the date of some of the posts there's not been a lot of input recently Might I suggest that the forum be made much more simpler to use ,and maybe reduced in size ,I personally find using my tablet that I struggle to read or follow the site I own several motorcycles and go on other forums which I find much more user friendly I own a bike of which there are only 8 left in the uk ,but the forum is very friendly and active I am a relitivly new Mx3 owner ,but I have owned one previously, and have found some useful advice here but there is little response to some of my enquiries May be the forth coming article on MX3's will generate more interest, in what is a very under ated future classic Regards Harvey Mushman
