The ventilation system in my MPV wasn't performing as it should be. This thing I've noticed for some time now : even with the fan on Max, there was unsuficient(sp?) airflow. last night I was tired of it and searched the internet on all Mazda related sites and found what was wrong: some pollen...

There are felt pads available for my BO6040, so I ran a search on Autopia for "felt": it returned 633 posts with the word felt in it, but felt as in to feel I guess no one ever wrote about the usage of felt pads. Can someone comment on them? thanks in advance Christiaan :wavey

I'm glad I've got my car back, for the duration of the repair the dealer gave me some beater-car. Just for getting some anger out of my system I detailed that little s*cker last weekend : complete vacuum, cleaned the windows(there was a film on them, from smokers I guess), washed the car...

.Updated 27/02/2003 Lots of questions are being asked about Zaino, and many times the same Q's. As I was a novice once I thought it might be a good idea to summerize the steps involved when someone takes the step towards Zaino. I do not claim this to be the one and only perfect product...
