Found the offending hose is this 15-185 from coolant schematics ?
seems accesible enough for even me to have a go. Any tips?

Probably have to order it from your local Mazda dealer, part number is in the thread somewhere, or on lushprojects (just make sure you get the one that looks the same as there are 2 other options for the 2 petrol models too), have a good check of the rest & see if any are imminent, especially top hose under drivers seat & the one at the rear that goes over the starter.
You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.

After I had mine underseal I had to drive home 50 miles, the underseal smelt great for the first 6 or 7 mile, by the time I got home I hated it

Got 4 hoses from shop and bost one from mazda.

What you reckon now?
Should i change burst one then bleed and take to garage for rest.
Change all ive got at once, bleed and hope for best [doing on road outside flat facing down hill].
Or

Do burst take to bash get volunteers to change rest one at a time and do bleed demo after each[ for video to benefit all]???

re bleeding at the bash.
thanks for the offer of your motor for the bleed,but if anything were to happen/go wrong,say the timing belt snap it could cause major problems.plus dont know if ian would appreciate the scantilly clad girls that i last saw you with,butlins wasnt it, appearing on his video.then again
regards ady.
