Hi chaps, does anyone know the number of the headlight relay unit? my headlights keep going off whilst driving which isn't good, a guy on ebay has some relay units for sale but doesn't know which is for the headlights. Many thanks, Sloggy

Its my other halves car, 1.5 93 jap import, I've got the 1.8 v6. Hers has a dipstick for checking the auto fluid but I don't know much about the Autozam to presume they all have one

Cheers for your help, all sorted now, thankfully. I managed to top the fluid up from where the dipstick is. One tip I didn't know though, always check the auto transmission fluid when its hot, and with the engine running, I had no idea on that one, a chap who lives locally and works with auto boxes ...

Silly question, does the oil pump need to be toopped up manually or does it take the oil from the engine automaticly?

Cheers, so whats the drain bolt for then? is the 3rd drain bolt connected to that too? it has a long spring inside the 3rd drain bolt if that helps at all? Only a small amount of fluid came out of there. Bear in mind it's an import and the engine is totally different from the 1.6 shown in the online...

Hi, am I correct in thinking to change the transmission fluid on the autozam 1.5 auto mx-3 there's a drain bolt near the engine oil drain plug? and the new fluid goes into where you check the fluid level? Any ideas what the drain plug by the small sump is for? (front right as you look at the engine)...

Is the bolt near the oil sump roughly in the middle?

Hi chaps, I've been trying to do an oil change on my 1.5 mx-3 import and am a bit confused, the oil sump is like none I've seen and there are 3 different drain plugs. the one on the right of the car is to drain the engine oil, but what are the other 2 for and how does one replace the fluid? Any help...

Hi chaps, I've done an oil change on my imported mx-3 but am confused as to why it has 3 drain plugs? I know the first one is for the engine oil but what are the other 2 for and how does one replace the oil in these? Many thanks, Sloggy.

Hi chaps, my 1.5 auto jap import MX-3 power steering pump is on its way out, has anyone got one for sale, or know of one for sale, ideally in the uk.
Many thanks, Sloggy

Well you've nothing to lose by trying so give it a go.

Rasheed, are you sure its not just the wheel bearing needing a tighten rather than the CV joint??

Hi, I've just got my baby through her mot, at some expense, but they advise "excessive wear/movement between crankshaft and pulley - Both have elongated keyways which shifted valve/ignition timing - Requires new crank and pulley or specialist repair work" Does this mean she's dying?? :cry:

Thanks Chris. I've had a closer look today and the rubber has 3 splits in it, so I've scrapped the patching up idea. Thanks for your help. Sloggy
