Thank you for the responses. I have not previously engaged in the act of polishing my vehicle. Therefore, could you kindly provide a recommendation for a dual-action (DA) polishing machine? As the prices exhibit variability. Furthermore, in the process of polishing, would it be necessary to polish the whole bonnet in order to achieve consistency throughout the panel? I am inquiring if a polished spot would be visible or whether the polishing process is sufficiently gentle as to render the presence of a polished spot imperceptible.

Greetings, everyone, Earlier today, I saw a substance like baked tar on the surface of my vehicle's bonnet. I successfully eliminated the substance; nevertheless, this action has resulted in the discoloration of the paint layer underneath. Are there any potential strategies to refine or address this issue? Thank you for your response.

Hello, individuals. Is anybody aware of the location for connecting a camera on a 2015 Japanese Mazda Demio with the command system DJK2 V6 600? Is there an ISO lead available on the market for the purpose of connecting a camera to this audio system? The only available RCA connection for this particular audio system type is the RCA input designated for video. I verified the functionality of my camera by examining the video input. However, a notable issue arises while using the reverse gear in the vehicle, as the system fails to detect the presence of the camera, therefore impeding its ability to show the video feed on the screen. Additionally, I included a photograph of the computer screen and system to aid in comprehending the model being discussed. I would want to express my gratitude in advance for your assistance. I am eagerly anticipating your prompt answer. Sincerely

I used the Google Translate tool to go through the many options until I located the "language" option, which I then changed to English. As a result, the entertainment center has become highly functional and easily navigable, exhibiting a satisfactory level of use. However, in regards to the navigation aspect. The language transitioned to English, but, the maps retained their original Japanese placements and are still integrated inside the text. I am currently doing research on the feasibility of an SD Card upgrade and will provide a comprehensive report upon completion of my investigation. The information panel is positioned above the dashboard in a manner reminiscent to an elevated iPad, and it is equipped with a side-mounted SD Card access port, which instills a sense of optimism. I want to engage in a discussion with the Mazda Dealership in my local area in order to explore the possibility of their assistance.

It is possible to modify the system's language to English, as an illustrative example. I have successfully used this approach, resulting in enhanced usability and satisfactory performance of the JDM AV system. However, the functionality of the navigation system's maps for the user's location remains unaffected. The base maps used in the system are of Japanese origin and are directly integrated into the system, rather than being executed from an SD card. This implies that the functionality of the system is contingent upon the acquisition of a map update specific to the user's nation. However, even with the aforementioned upgrade, the feasibility of using the system remains uncertain. I am now engaged in research on this topic and will provide an update once I have obtained the necessary information. I navigated through the Japanese script to get the language selection feature on Google Translate using my iPhone. The effectiveness of this approach was notable.

Although this topic is dated, I am contributing to it in order to maintain its relevance and avoid duplicating my inquiry elsewhere. I am encountering a same problem with a 1994 Protégé vehicle. The battery indicator illuminated, prompting the user to seek professional assistance at a nearby automotive parts establishment. After conducting a diagnostic test, the technicians concluded that the vehicle's alternator required replacement, as shown by the absence of any voltage reading at the battery. I purchased the recently released alternator and proceeded to install it, inadvertently neglecting to subject it to a bench test. Regrettably, I am already experiencing identical symptoms, namely the illumination of the battery light and the failure of the alternator to effectively charge the battery. The automobile will successfully initiate ignition using a jumpstart, but, it is evident that the vehicle's operation will be limited when relying only on battery power. The vehicle was returned to the automotive parts establishment, where it was seen that the alternator exhibited same behavior as previously observed, with a voltage reading of 0 volts at the battery. A replacement has been requested, however, the individual at the parts establishment advised verifying the continuity of the ground connection between the alternator and the battery. I will attempt to use the aforementioned checklist provided by oldeng in order to assess the situation tomorrow, prior to removing the alternator. I will afterwards provide an update on my findings within this forum.

The blue smoke seen is indicative of the presence of oil, rather than being attributed to poor gas quality. The potential cause for the irregular operation of the engine might be the presence of water inside the fuel mixture. One potential solution to address the issue of gasoline freezing in the tank is the use of ethyl alcohol, often referred to as dry gas or fuel anti-freeze. It is advisable to frequently monitor the levels of oil in your vehicle to ensure that excessive oil consumption is not occurring.

The occurrence of smoke during the first stages of engine operation is often attributed to the deterioration of valve seals, which results in the leakage of oil when the engine is not in operation and the subsequent accumulation of oil inside the engine. The presence of continuous smoke emissions might serve as an indication of potential issues with the piston rings. It is advisable to do a compression check on all cylinders in order to determine whether any of them exhibit abnormal readings. Additionally, I recall a mention about the PCV valve. Although I myself have not experienced this problem, it has been reported by others that it may lead to the occurrence of smoking.

I am seeing the same problem while attempting to update to version 03/2023.50. Could you kindly provide any guidance on how to proceed with the installation?

Only if someone smacked me above the head with a hammer would I consider buying it.

Possible that I'll strip the insulation off the wires to see what color it is. The colors black, red, and white. Alternate color schemes for production models include purple-pink and black-red. There might also be electrical heater wall outlet color codes.

Both the original maintenance handbook and the replacement manual I used had no illustrations. Even though I have a parts handbook, I'll need a component number in order to use it. It seems to be a by-pass solenoid, but I've never seen one before.

That engine was in the F-85 that I had. I was abandoned three times in unfamiliar places.

Memories of last year's visit of Malvern link are hazy at best. The need to construct vehicles with both left and right hand drive added an extra layer of difficulty. (But I don't recall the specific reason why.) The single wheel is driven by a 4 cm toothed Kevlar belt, which is transmitted from the Ford 1.5 via the Mx5 gearbox (the finest in the industry), and then back through the short prop-shaft. (It may be worth your time to see Jonny's Late Brake Show segment on this. Perhaps only he could have provided further information about the vehicle. Coolest gadgets ever. I really hope the new Venture Capital owners don't ruin this family firm where most of the employees have been with Morgan since they were Nippers and who have known each other for decades. At least the three-wheeler's frame isn't made of wood anymore, which is excellent news.

In that case, how do you plan to replace it?

Why not just check by opening the keychain? To change the battery, you will need to open it.

Hi, I want to change the tyres on my standard-height Land Rover Defender 90. I have 235/85/16 tyres on my sawtooths right now, which are et20?! Could I switch to 255/85 without making many changes? Any pictures would be fine. I can't find any sawtooths that have 255/85 tyres on them!!

If a tyre abruptly deflates, the vehicle will be more controlled if it's a rear tyre, I believe. In terms of putting the best tyres on the back, I attempt to change all four at the same time. Assuming no damage necessitates replacement, this implies half the miles will be covered with the poorest rear tyres. I switched Mrs F's Pug's tyres front to back after 15,000 miles, assuming a 30K mile tyre life. There is just a centimetre difference, and as more miles is accumulated, the difference will diminish until they are equally worn when replacements are necessary. This concludes some more 'normal crap'.

I'll pick up the properly serviced automobile soon. My commute is 35 miles each way five days a week, plus a lengthy weekend trip to the country, so hopefully the troubles will be minimal. I have a warranty that covers the faults described. Can the Mazda hear the DPF cleaning like the Golf? Engine sound deeper?

Hi all, Changing from a 13 plate Golf TDI SE DSG to a 14 plate Mazda 3 2.2 sport nav. Anything I should watch out for in advance? Will be the first Mazda, and it has only 16,000 miles on the odometer and FSH.
