is yours an auto? if yes , how do you know its coming in late? it may be coming in but it may be weak/worn. is this the only symptom regarding performance,does it change gear when it should. quick check around the air/vacuum pipes to the turbo may help,check the air inlet system from where it comes ...

the temp gauge as kirsty says does not move unless the cooling is struggling,if its not modified. the gauge going to the H point is roughly where the fans come on,and are the last chance to cool.you say that the temp then dropped to 12 oclock,this is what it should do. the strange bit is you say you...

the only copper in the cooling system that i know of is the oil cooler inside the bottom plastic part of the coolant rad.look for two 1 inch pipes going in at the bottom.if this has failed/leaked/broken up, it could have gone through the water pump and shreaded it,check for signs in the gearbox if i...

hi sounds like an eventful day,
can you describe more accuratly what happened and in what order or have you had enough today.

welcome to the forum

turbo/exhaust manifold off.what a b*tch of a job.there is always one that wont budge or is gonna snap,i feel lucky there was two.
new mazda manifold gasket £11.00 plus vat and studs and some nuts ordered.
