Ahoy! Bought it last week and loving every second of it!  At first I was hesitant to buy it, test drive was mind blowing but discovered a tiny bit of vibration on clutch at biting point while running and changing gears. A little bit of research pointed towards the ZZB or VVT, so I took one of my local friend who knows pretty much everything about car engines and he confirmed no sign of modification. Taking it to local Mazda dealership for AC regassing and they'd do a visual check as well . Thinking of doing full servicing from them in future ,dealership did a full as well as 12 months warranty . Any suggestions for the clutch vibration at biting while driving ? My friend has said it's normal on big engine cars ,my last one was a 1.6 Hyundai coupe .

Welcome to the forum Where abouts you from? I'm not far from city centre Thanks a lot .! I'm from the Shields. Mazda Hodgson at the Silverlink said they'd use UV lights after couple of weeks to check any leak for free, not sure about the pressure check; but I shall mention it! They also mentioned free sight test and confirm if anything looks odd, fingers crossed! Bought it from Mainline UK, Gateshead (12 months warranty inc). Where would you recommend for full servicing? Nice meeting ya pal!

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 tbh, reliable guy and decent prices. If yer looking at getting a service done anytime soon, heres my list: Engine: Grade API SL or ACEA A3 / A5 API SL or ACEA A3 Viscosity (SAE) 5W-30 10W-40 Capacity 5.7litre Gearbox: Grade API service GL-4 or GL-5 Viscosity SAE 75W-90 Capacity 2.55 litre Motul 300 £13.99/L http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-899-motul-g ... based.aspxTransfer Case: Grade API service GL-5 Capaciy: 1.2l 1.2 litre transmission oil. The transmission oil must comply with SAE 80 or SAE 90 (API service GL-5) specification. Rear Diff: Grade API service GL-5 Viscosity SAE 80W-90 Capacity 1.0 litre Gulf Gear 80/90 LS http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-60144-gulf- ... l-oil.aspxBulbs: Main beam H1 dipped DS2 Side lights 501 front indicators 581 Fogs H11 Internal and puddle 501 For the engine oil I went with the recommended Shell Helix Ultra 5w40. Still not done my plugs.
