Ah nice mate, Warranty too!
I'm always keeping an eye out for ones up here for sale but seen nowt recently, and Im in gateshead, literally round the corner from the place you got it lol
I was thinking of changing from red to black :p Whats the reg? Might be one of the ones I've seen recently.
For servicing I get me brothers mate to do it to be honest, reliable guy and decent prices.

If yer looking at getting a service done anytime soon, heres my list.


Thanks a lot ., you're a star!! :cheers:
Reg is OU07YTG but changing it to private T4NXM soon as.
I was waiting for next year for price drop on mps to get one but my Hyundai coupe was falling into pieces, instead of fixing it which I do every year thought I'd rather get mps now. It was on autotrader for 2-3 months. I always thought the silver ones look best with black alloys tbh! Wrapping looks canny, Carbon fibre and matte black yee nah!! Dealership said they would sort servicing and mot out for decent price next year, would you reckon mazda silverlink is rip off or worth it?

Never been to silverlink, however typivally their hourly rate is a joke.
Well that and Mazda Gateshead were trying to charge me almost £70 for oil :p Paid like £40 for 2 from ECP haha
I'm not sure if the prices on MPS will drop tbh, I bought mine a while back now bout 8 months or so, had been looking for about 8/9 month but the death of my previous car pushed my hand :( in that time I've only ever seen the 6's go up in price, to the point I almost didn't bother until I found mien.

I was waiting for a red 6 in the low tax bracket that wasn't battered.
Instead got a red6, timing chain/vvt already done on high tax.

If you are getting your alloys done and maybe even replace the tyres you may as well get it lowered at the same time ;)
I'd recommend Bilstein shocks/H&R Springs, I got mine from demontweeks/amazon, get it all done and then get a proper AWD alignment done. Personally I think Satin black would look nice :)



And the reg isn't one I recognise so it's not the one I've seen floating aboot.

I never liked black cars until recently, always preferred in metallic silver and ended up with black for the car I've waited for about almost a year lol. Red with black alloys look very sporty!

AC is working now, Hodgson Silverlink said to bring it back after 2 weeks for any leak but their rates are a joke and a half! VVT hasn't been changed yet :(

Mps6 is such a rare gem that only a handful comes on sale, and when they come they go really fast. I had to use credit card to get it, no guarantee there would be another one on sale nearby. Didn't fancy hundred miles trip, if anything goes wrong it becomes a Royal pain lol

Can't afford to change alloy or lower it now, everything is still original on it and might keep it that way but previous owner took the mps badge off, makes it even more of a q-car now lol. I'm thinking of buying a dash cam though ;)

Mines on high tax bracket but insurance is £550 all inclusive which is not bad, I've been driving since 2009. Might try the insurance that been advertised on this forum.

Only thing good about servicing in Mazda are the official stamps, comes handy reselling but can't even think of selling this gem!!!

Is there anyway of telling if engine has been modified mate? Went on my friends m135i but the acceleration feels faster on mps6 :D

Tempted to get computer diagnosis done, I think it's the only was to find out!!
