There is an import garage on Higginshaw Lane/Shaw Road (from Oldham to Shaw) Its just off to the side of the road, looking on Autoroute its either on Holyrood street or Milne Street. Seen an RX7 for sale in there before, cant vouch for any of their work though tbh.

If its just the Spark Plugs you need changing cant you have a crack yourself?

After doing it several times now yes its easy but on my first attempt not knowing what I was doign then it was not easy.
I found removing the elbow ontot the throttle body made life a lot easier.

I am driving about tomorrow so Iw ill get you the number for the garage.

Cheers

Hi davegttph1

I have seen that garage and he has had a couple of rx\'7 in, on close expection they both looked a little ruff, one was full of mazdaspeed goodies including wheels silver in colour and he currently has a yelow one with nice carbon bonnet, looks nice but again on close inspection its a little ruff.

On a quick chat they did not seem to know much about the 7 which did not srprice me as they import all sorts.

Cheers
