Re: A few Issues

You have bought a winner there , well done. That rear caliper will need replacing but not an expensive or difficult job. Make sure the antifreeze is the right stuff , hate to say it but the Ford stuff is best , buy on ebay though. DO NOT WORRY about changing cambelt , even if it hasn't been changed....

Re: Starting issue - maybe!

Stay away from USA.
Somehow, you need to find another two distributors exactly like yours.
Because you always need a spare.
No idea how trustworthy but sales@ignitioncarparts.co.uk may help.

Re: Starting issue - maybe!

As long as the £50 works I am not sure you will be buying anymore reliability by going new Mazda.

Misfiring is something to avoid at all costs.
If the HT isn't being discharged across the spark plug gap it has to go somewhere else.
That can be into the primary circuits, with all those vulnerable transistors !

Re: Starting issue - maybe!
