Engine Life 24 Jan 2005 (Forum)
Hi guys, I like to drive quite 'adventurously', and I'm just wondering how much this affects the life/condition of the engine. At the moment, I change the oil every 5000 miles, always let the engine warm up before really revving it, and drive normally for a bit afterwards to help it cool down. -
Mazda MX-5 cam shaft drive belt 12 Jul 2004 (Forum)
The service schedule states that the cam shaft drive belt should be changed after 60k miles (no mention of time). Is this purely a distance service item? My mark 2 MX-5 has done only 30k miles and is coming up to 6 years old. There appears to be some doubt as to whether a change is now necessary. -

Great British Driving Test 21 Jan 2004 (Forum)
Given that it seems to answer many of the same questions as the normal theory test I was astonished to see that the average score is around 26. Does this mean that all these people have insufficient road knowledge to drive safely? (Also like question 8, it should remind people not to use foglights :)) -
Drink driving crackdown? 2 Jan 2004 (Forum)
I only saw two police cars the whole time and those were in broad daylight cruising around the M25 doing the 'don't go faster that me' trick. Have the police abandoned the traditional drink driving blitz? (I am teetotal by the way.) -
Puncture Repaired Tyre 9 Dec 2003 (Forum)
My question is though - is the repaired tyre, which is now on the front, safe to use for an extended drive? I am due to drive through France next week, covering about 1500 motorway miles in 3 days - (return journey!) The tread on the tyres are fine, but I was just wondering whether other BRs would get new fronts fitted before this drive. -
