Re: Steering Rack leak

It will probably have to go Parcelforce, & this pushes up the cost, so say £20 posted.

Re: Air Bag Blue Box :- Thermal Fuse

I gave Simon my spare ‘Air Bag Blue box’, today
To try in his car.

Re: Clutch replacement

Thanks for the help. Out of interest why do the side gears have to be held in place .According to the manual it said to prevent misalignment. What actually becomes misaligned There’s a chance the diff could drop ( I’ve never known it). So, you could leave the inner CV shaft in place, or ram a broom...

Re: Mazda MX6 rear brakes - insufficient pressure

I’ll go for the hose first :idea:

Remember, take the hose off the metal pipe, the nut on metal pipe, might be sized solid
