Just had a quick check round the brakes to see that all was ok and make sure that they're not so low that i'll find myself having to changing the pads on some freezing cold snow laden evening later this year.
Brakes are fine but, I spotted the nearside steering gatter was coverd in grease so probably has split are these expensive and how easy are they to fit ?. The second thing and i know you lot wont forgive me for this is that i had the exhaust replaced in may with a standard unit and there seems to be a small hole on the engine side of the back box. Its not seam thats gone it's a small deliberate looking hole like it was make with a centre punch. I take that its not meant to be there? or is it ?

Thanks in advance for the info

Hi Blue6,
For the CV Gaiter see here: http://www.mx6.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=73888
Mine went a couple of weeks ago and I had to replace it. I used one of the Halfords glue-together jobs and it seems fine.

As to the exhaust, I don't know. Never had a standard back box while I've had the car. If it was fitted by Mazda why not give them a ring?

Cheers,
Ken

exhaust

Thanks Ken
Thinking about the exhaust i suppose its possible that something
has flicked up of the road and punctured it

Yep. Easy enough to change. Half hour job. As for price i think mazda sell a kit which is 30 quid. Just remember to redo the tracking afterwards.
