  • displayed on wrong license plate – what to do?

    hello people, I’m coming to you with my first contribution right away with a tricky thing and hope to find helpful answers here. the following has happened: my second car has been unused for a long time now before the door and was not moved. now the voluntary police service came by and has expired tuev since februar found nothing new so far, except that I only got 1 week time to fix the lack (normal are 2). what makes the thing more complicated now is that the tin has been issued on a wrong mark… what can I do in this case? the car is converted for the race track (ring tool) and to get new tuv I still have to work on 1-2 things that I can show it with good certain. problem is that I write through the study now clausures and it can’t be done before. the question is now what I have for options, since unfortunately everything in the net has not made me smarter . should I just wait and see what happens to me in the hope of saving any more fines over the time until I can handle everything or do I have to unsubscribe the car, put it on the private property and then register in 3 weeks to tuv and again? I really hope you can help me. it greets callitto

  • Start problem after engine change, MX5 NBFL from 1.6l to 1.8l (NB)

    Hello, I had recently informed myself here in the chat about the conversion from 1.6l to 1.8l at MX5 NBFL. Now I had found and bought a motor last weekend, which I started on the weekend (but went with a lot of sweat and curse), because I had dug it alone in the garage. I installed the 1.8l-140hp motor with the control unit and the motor cable tree. Filled in the oil filter and oil or new coolant. the 1 hose is about 17cm long and hangs under the manifold on the left side, the 2 hose (60cm long) comes from the petrol vacuum valve and the 3 hose (60cm long) is closed under the manifold on the right side before the petrol inlet connection (below half the vacuum valve). 1. Question: Do the vacuum hoses have to be connected? (You can see it in the following pictures.) 2. Question: Do the hoses play a role in the Starting the engine? 3. Question: Or do I need other parts for normal running or starting the engine? At the moment the MX is standing in the garage and does not want to start, if you could be helpful to me, I would be very grateful to you. Gruss, shg964

  • Remote Software Upgrade

    Hello, my question concerns the countryman, but I think it will be the same for all current minis, so I’ll write here. Can’t you install the Renote software upgrade directly in the car anymore? If I try this during the current upgrade I only get the hint in the display that I can start the upgrade via app. But for this you need wlan and since our wlan doesn’t reach the garage or the road that’s bad. I don’t have to go by car either. in the living room or in the garden to drive LG

  • A high on Mazda

    For many things, the Japanese have thought better. Thus, the heatable rear window first makes a narrow window strip for quick view to the rear fog-free, then the whole glass. Or: The rear seat can be turned into a smooth combi car floor at the angle. Genial of the fuse box. It sits in the driver’s footroom and is illuminated by the extra interior light. Should their fuse have been burned through: it can be blindly felt, as it overwhelms all others. However, it is not only the small things that contribute to the mythical formation of this Mazda series. The brakes, for example, last forever. Our test car still drove with the first set of ventilated disks in front and drums in the rear. The most expensive wear parts, i.e. engine and gearbox, run like a clockwork – provided occasional lubricant look. The hydro-punch of the 2.2-litre starts to tick harmlessly after about 100,000 kilometers. The biggest auto enemy, father Ro St, makes around the body of the 626 a big bow. And that even without galvanizing, only due to good preventive measures. There can swim in the trunk angles tadpoles or in the biotope area of the front fenders (between splash flaps and door) the linden blossoms germinate – a 626 gives the Gilb no chance. What clouds the cohabitation now? Central locking, electric window lifter and power steering are mostly available from GLX. Yes, an air conditioning system would be nice, airbag and AB S-Bremse. ABS was available for the four-wheel-driven 4WS (superfluous!), the 4WD four-wheeler and the GT of the GD-series. Everything else remains on the wish list. But that’s why like the old one, cancel your love? That would be really unfair.

  • Cmax – are there satisfied customers?

    Hello, is the Ford Focus c-max really so vulnerable in terms of electronics? Or is it made worse than it actually is? Are there also workshop stays that are scheduled? Or does it always attract the c-max to the dealer? Ask only because I can’t imagine that there are so many dissatisfied customers. So write nicely!

  • Private purchase – warranty

    Good morning, maybe you can help me. I bought a Mazda MX 5 from a private salesman on 18.10.2016. At that time he was 10 years old and had 193,000 km down. Due to the age and the kilometers driven the seller sold the car as a hobbyist car. Last week the car had a breakdown. The starter and the ignition lock is broken. The repair would cost 1500 €. The car cost 2650 €. The repair is not worthwhile. I don’t know what that means. Now to my questions: – Does the defect from the starter and ignition lock apply as a hidden defect? – Does the seller have to stick for it, since there are not yet 6 months around? – Can I return the car to the private seller? – Does the clause with the hobby car protect it? – Is there a precise definition of the hobby car? I blackened my purchase contract once and put it in the attachment. Thank you Chrischi MX5

  • Your Mx-5 Road Trip experiences and routes

    Hello everyone, I wanted to ask you about your trip on a longer road trip with your mx-5 and what your experiences were like? Start and destination of your trip and where did you sleep, above all:P hotel, campsite, couchsurfing, etc. Do you have any recommendations what you should necessarily have with you and what makes life easier for you on the trip. I went from Neuss to Istanbul to my aunt without taking any major stops. I’d like to make a Europe road trip at some point and leave me some time with it. Asia would be a dream but not comfortable with an Mx-5 😛 I’m curious about your contributions.

  • Sunshade ND side not rotatable – ideas?

    Hello everybody, I’m new here. We want to buy a used MX-5 ND. On a test drive I notice that the sun visor can no longer be unplugged and turned to the side window. Was possible with an earlier predecessor model (of course). Does anyone know a way to convert this? I am grateful for every answer!

  • Start / stop is ….. Scrap ….

    Morsche, is it just me? I find the start/stop automatic scrap …. have already driven many cars, but at the ND it only bothers …. Do you know how I can turn on and turn off my car ? With the heating / climate. Summer: climate on, start-stop is almost never going on (well open, temperature of the outside world will probably never sink down on the one I set, then the engine stays on for safety reasons ….) Winter: heating turned high, car goes off almost never. r traffic lights stand, I sometimes have fun and turn the heating from the red to the red/blue area, then the engine starts …. whow …. General: Distribution on windshield: Start/stop never attacks. Climate (even in winter), Start/stop attacks almost never Is too thin honestly said, I mean it is clear that the climate can no longer do its job when the engine is off, but is the start/stop not more important than 30-50 sec long air-conditioned air ? Do I know a Is it just me? Yes, I like my car, but another thing is real garbage (I’ve mentioned it before), since there is a start button, you can’t turn off the engine and leave the ignition at level 1 …. so if you have a key, that would be the first step in which the lights are turned on. Why is this important? Call Bluetooth while you’re driving, then arrive somewhere and turn off the engine, the BT connection is immediately g and the conversation automatically on your mobile phone. Sometimes you might want to do that, but sometimes you don’t….

  • ESP saves from accident

    Hi, so far I have always doubted the necessity and function of the ESP. This morning, however, when the road on the way to work seemed to be very easy to drive, I probably got a little out of hand at the speed. I passed through a long curve with about 80, 90. It was quite smooth at once. The car came into the sling and I noticed clear reactions of the ESP, single wheels probably braked and stabilized the box without having to I had to keep the track and walk off the gas easily. Since my speed was too high and there were big trees on the outside of the bend it would probably have cracked, especially since I was not prepared for the situation. So that brings with the ESP. That can do something. Technology firmance back or forth, today I learned something again.
