Still lots to be done as the bumper is being worked on , Bonnet will be changed , Paint needs flatting etc but its getting there.
 
Just found Mazdatrix too so my wallet will be empty soon with the amount of parts for the FC.
 
any input appreciated.

That green one - if it\'s a 3 pin connector - that\'s for setting the tps with 2 lights - it\'s not normally connected. It looks like that one - it\'s in the right place.
 
I think you posted up the same pic twice ;)
 
The one by the headlight - on the driver\'s side there is a 2 pin yellow plug - it\'s not normally connected - that one if shorted out, runs the fuel pump (it\'s for priming the fuel system / testing the fuel pump pressure) - it\'s usually on the strut tower.  If there is a connector closer to the headlight - probably need a pic of it to identify.
 
On the passenger side - there is a 1 pin green connector and a 6 pin green connector - these are the initial set/check connector (1 pin) and the diagnostic lights connector (6 pin) where you can read fault codes off.

Cheers once again Prof!
 
Any ideas on these 3 connectors , one grey , one green and one white. near the drivers headlight.

These are the last few connectors bar a few other gound connectors.
 
Ordering my service kit from MRP on Monday as the Yahoo Belt should come soon too :-)
 
Thanks for the advice!

The big one you\'ve got in your fingers (grey) is for the AFM (Air flow meter) - the white one is probably the fuel one I spoke of - it\'s normally yellow, but may have gone white.  The green one is a check connector - some US/JDM models had the 1 pin check connector on that side instead of / as well as the one near the leading coil
