Hello all...

I've had my F for about 4 years now and an amazing car she is!

She needs a little work now and I guess you lot are the best to speak to!

Its the 94/98 model, I have a few main problems.

The handbrake light is constantly on, I have no idea why, the handbrake is fine, as is the brake fluid, but the light wont go off!

I think I need to replace the headlights as the bulbs blow in them atleast once every two months! Any ideas why this might be? Can I replace the whole unit? Or are my electrics at fault?

Also my rear arch is rusted to crap, so I set about today with that Hammerite Krust stuff, sanded it back and its rusted through in two small spots.

Whats best to patch it? Or are rear arches fairly cheap?

Are there any site selling parts for mazdas?

Sorry if this post is in the wrong area... as I say, I'm new to all this! :)

Thanks,
Mark

There's one or two here that might agree ;) The 94/98 model is known as the 323F 'BA'.

What bulbs are you using?

Not many people have that problem as far as I know. I thing the Popup (BG model) guys have it though :?

What sort of parts are you after? Gold Club Members get upto %15 discount from a couple of Mazda dealers who will post stuff out to you.

Hello Mark... good name ;)

Why is it known as a BA...? Something to do with the A Team? :cheers:

Bulbs, I've tried the £15 Mazda ones, right down to some crappy Halford ones... I'm considering replacing the whole unit or electrics to see if that solves the problems, it all depends on price though!

I'll probably join the club, do the sites that sell parts list prices, or is it a case of calling and seeing how much it is?

Thanks people,
Mark

Dunno, but it's gotta be better than BJ ;)

If you're thinking of doing all that I'd get an auto electrician to have a look first - unless anyone else knows what the problem might be.

With the Mazda dealers, it's a case of phone and enquire, although one or two members here do have access to prices.

I've had to come all the way down here to help with your queries, and it's made me forget what you asked...........

I can remember two things though - both earth related!

Here's my thoughts:

Hand brake. The hand brake warning light is activated by a switch near the handbrake as well as a low brake fluid switch (which you say is ok). This switch simply earths a wire which completes the circuit for the bulb and is spring loaded so it disconnects when you release the handbrake. Sounds like it's stuck and needs releasing. Remove the surround to the handbrake lever (the armrest jobbie) by following the early part of http://www.club323f.com/ba/tuning/dashr ... emoval.php (don't worry if yours isn't Kermit the frog green) to get to this switch. Its positioned at the bottom of the handbrake and has one wire to it.

Bulbs. The main problem with our H3 dip beam bulbs is the fact that if they are not fitted properly, as in with the plastic shroud protecting the live terminal connection (at the end of the short peice of wire) it can easily touch the metal part of the headlamp and short it out - either resulting in a blown bulb or fuse. Take your rear covers off and check there is no bare metal showing on this terminal, and if there is you need to cover it up with electrical tape.
