I called mazda in little wick Green. They have a full set of rev c and Ht leads. Just got to get over there to pick them up. Currently lumbered looking after daughter... They close at 6pm. Might be a grand parent favour coming on

Mazda couldn't find the HT leads, so here I am at euro car parts buying back the HT leads I returned earlier!

I shudder to think...always had a beef with Mazda about the cost...there none to fail and kill rotary engines...mazda are rotary engines yet they fail to set a realistic price that allows owners to change as a precaution maintenance ite.m the VAG 1.8 turbo 20v also has a habit of coils failing...there Â£20 ea from main dealer....

I think it was a lead issue. Looks like it was not seated properly. Coils look alright otherwise

The engine revs up well now but still stutters very slightly on idle. Need to clean up the plugs I think. One thing I haven't done.
