Re: Mazda thermostat - A few observations
yep she chirped a fair bit .. but then it had never been set in the first place so i moved the dial until it stopped.
The gauge does come down a little when urban driving but not by much.
Bloody thing not only did i buy the alarm i paid to have it fitted - wish i never bothered, i haven't got the ...

Re: Mazda thermostat - A few observations
I should have added - the bongo had a full service at the same time and the coolant was checked, the coolant was flushed out about 6 months ago and re-bled when i had a leak.
How long timewise should a stat change take ? thinking labour cost.

Tyre aspects ?
Hello ..
I need 2 new front tyres - currently my tyres are 195/70 r15 97T front and back 215/65 R15 100T, reading here ive heard the accelera tyres are a good budget recommendation but they don't do these exact sizes, so would it matter if the aspect changed slightly to say 195/65 or 55 ??

Re: Exhaust emitting white smoke
Hiya .. mine was doing the same - before you fork out for a new gasket/engine i would give kseal a try you've got nothing to lose and could save you a packet.
since i put it in mine - no white smoke and have done over 2.5k miles with no water loss.
good luck.

kseal or steel seal ? Is there a difference ?
Looking at giving one of these a go .. is there a difference ?
looking at the instructions the kseal seems easier in usage to a non mechanical mind whereas there are a lot more steps (ie mixing with anti freeze) for the steel seal.
Anyone used either ?
thanks.
