Why not ask a tyre/brake specialist?

Steering/Suspension/Brakes / rear disc replacement with electronic handbrake
« Last Post by ridgerunner on April 04, 2024, 07:03:22 pm »
rear discs corroded and dragging on an  18 months old car [2022 model]. Thought i would try my local independent garage but they said if the car has electronic parking brake then a special tool is needed which he does not have. Is this correct or should i try other garages in 18 months time

CX-5 / Re: Walk away auto lock and double locking
« Last Post by bw10030 on April 03, 2024, 11:15:44 am »
Be cautious! My wife managed to lock herself out of her CX3 - she put her handbag which contained amongst other 'stuff' the car key fob, and her mobile phone, having unlocked the car on the back seat. As soon as she shut the rear door the car self locked, leaving her stranded. Apparently, mobile phones can 'mask' the car fob signal, so the car does not see the key and autolocks. I had to bring her the spare keys to get in.

Now I tried the same in my 72 reg CX5, with exactly the same result - locked out of the car - but at home with access to the spare keys.

So on both cars I have disabled the autolocks function- it's no real hardship to press the fob button to open the car - especially as the touch to unlock function on the doors is extremely temperamental (it rarely works for me!).

Once again, a badly thought through solution to a problem which really shouldn't exist!

Good luck!

Powered seats are fed independent of the Start button. It's so that you can move the seat before getting in (if some short ar$e has been in before you).

Not unless the previous owner did. Dealers don't update the Nav, it's too time consuming for them.

As a followup. I found this thread.

For me from now on I’ll be washing the car with the mirrors folded. Plus I'll be VERY careful where I aim the pressure washer!

Vehicle Electrics / Sticking wing mirrors
« Last Post by Nickg on March 14, 2024, 11:37:49 pm »
Has anyone had what seems to be a Mazda trait - namely wing mirrors that do not open or close completely?
It seems to occur after washing with a pressure washer or after heavy rain.  YouTube is full of this specific Mazda problem.
Has the WD 40 trick worked for you as it did once for me but now, after the dealer gave his complementary wash both of them will not move more than half way open or closed.  A gentle help makes them work…. but…
Is it easy to remove the glass and if so does anyone have any tips to avoid damage.
