i just bought one
Discussion
Hello all,
I've never ventured into this part of the forum before, as well, I never owned an MX5 before.
But tonight I'm picking up an R plate (97) Mk1 UK car. 1.8, with nothing electric, in lovely shiny black.
New sills a few years ago, no rust anywhere else.
Full Mazda history, just a smidge under 60k on the clock.
My question however is this, I do roughly 20k a year, how often do the cambelts need doing on these? The guy has had 3 fitted (same owner since new) but wasn't sure how often the interval actually was!
I've only a had a brief play in it, but cant wait to pick it up later, easily the funnest car I've owned.
Not bad for £900
Simon
PS. Any tips for routine maintenance etc?
