RX8 Air Duct Elbow

[Pil]

Oops, got a cracked Air Inlet Duct Elbow (FEMJ-13-758) and my Dealer's parts department isn't open till Monday. Does Mazda Rotary Parts have them somewhere? I'll try to bodge it up for now but there's a dodgy looking ad on eBay for them...

This is a common problem - one broke on my car too 

If MRP doesn't have them then try Peter Stevens on 07932 678556 or 01205 460219. He's based in Boston, Lincs and runs an RX-8 breaker business. He supplied one to someone I know a few days back. I think he may have some "new" stock as well as "used".

The feedback to Pete from the recipient was, "parts arrived today, many thanks for the very reasonably priced and prompt help."

I can recommend highly recommend Pete, one of the good guys!

Thank you Casey,

                         I'm really annoyed about it as I've small hands and easily managed to get the coils out after taking off the resonator. Then I gave a tug on one of the hoses as I saw someone do in a video I'm not sure if a repair attempt would be a good idea...

You could super glue for now, try Pete for a new one and let us know.

If not give me a ring Monday and I will find a second hand one and pop it in the post as a freebie 01474 777800

Thanks Clive,

                   Super glue is holding it for now and I'll get back to you if need be. They seem rather brittle. What a difference changing the coils has made!

In the end I got one through my local dealer but it was £8. Maybe they should be made of metal. I daren't touch one again
