Ticking underload
My car has developed a ticking sound underload, it is only when on throttle and when between 1k and 3.5k but doesnt always do it, the car isnt misfiring as such but feels down on power and then picks up when the ticking suddenly stops.

Re: Air bag code 51
I have previously used a breakout fuse wired in place of rear wiper fuse, wire into cheap circuit timer and then a t5 bulb holder, airbag light comes on at ignition and after a few seconds goes out.

Re: Coolant lose
No bubbles. But going crazy not being able to find it so going to test it for peace of mind. After reading up I’m thinking possibly heater matrix, have had trouble before with it becoming air locked and wondering if maybe it’s leaking, the car never overheats or goes to low on coolant, so perhaps le...

Radiator cap
I’m ordering a replacement radiator cap, the second coolant cap nearer engine is very perished on the black seal under cap but can’t seem to find a replacement. Are these parts available?

Suspension Bolts
Where do I find replacement suspension bolts?! Ford and Mazda don't stock the strut-to-knuckle pinch bolt or the rear lateral arm bolt. Both have stripped/snapped and looking like I might have to use a fully threaded bolt from local fastener

Re: Rear shocks/ struts
Took both apart and the struts are the same size, but they are just as shot as my current set
I have now ordered just a new set of struts and will use old springs and top mount
