[David Nock (RIP)]

These should be Mazda part Nos. for the Series 3 FB:

Rear Pads FA6749280

Front Pads FA6649280

But check,check,check before ordering.

I got my pads from my local spares shop, and I\'m sure they were alot cheaper than Mazda.

Yeh, Many dealers are like that now, they don\'t have the old microfices in place anymore or at least not readily accessible on the counter.
 
I always go to the Parts Manager at JCT600, Mazda Wakefield. The Parts Manager there is Mark Turner and will get on to Mazda Belgium or Japan if necessary to see if any old stocks of things are still left (which they often are). He will then post out if necessary if you pay postage.
 
He is on 01924 376644, email mark dot turner at jct600 dot co dot uk
 
I guess Mazda have discontinued support for the FB\'s but as said, some parts are available still.

Morning David - many thanks for your very useful reply.  Seems to becoming a common trend with dealerships these days - if it\'s not on the shelf or they have to spend a little energy and more importantly use the vital \'grey matter\' they\'re not really interested.  Wonder if I walked into a \'showroom\' and were female (of suitable age & proportions) rather than an aging gentleman (of ample proportions) not quite as my wife might say - whether I\'d get the same response? However being as I\'m not it would appear that we @ the \'MRC\' must stick together and work as a team to research, probe, develop & provide the necessary technical information and more often than not the most suitable solutions to resolve issues - Cliff  :cheers

I\'m also lucky as my local dealer has now become a friend and will take the time to look up things for me, but then I have been using them for a good few years now.
 
Good luck.

Thanks Dibs - will probably need it

The dealers can\'t be bothered to look up the parts as they assume it\'s all been discontinued.
If u can find the part nos they\'ll probably try, or do as dave says try a dealer who will put themselves out for you,used to be called customer service!
ta stu..

Hi - is there a particular area to look for the part nos? Cliff
