It's the Phoenix, heated seats and AC etc.
Well it was, it ended up in a hedge Saturday.
I was a little late to the weigh in party!

I'd get one sooner rather than later, the MK1's are going up in value!
Is that Guildford mazda - does John Crook still work there as a salesman, great nameI ended up getting my MK3.5 from MKG3000 in Twickenham as they were significantly cheaper but used guildford mazda for servicing.
Just £5 more than I just spent on a new roof for my one
I hope so, it might help to offset some of the money I'm spending on my one this year![]()
The softtop is goosed on this one, picked up a hardtop for £250 though, in black!
Already bought coilovers for it, next up are brakes and a turbo setup!
I bought mine as a hobby car nearly four years ago and so far I've.... er.... polished it a couple of timesThe softtop is goosed on this one, picked up a hardtop for £250 though, in black!

Hi guys,
Had running problems with my mk2.5 1.8 yesterday. Idle was all over the place and would drop very low and stall occasionally at junctions etc. Car would judder occasionally when driving at low revs/speed.
However, things would get better when the car was warm and driving at higher revs/speed. and would actually pull like normal when accelerating.
Am I right to be thinking along the lines that its the MAF sensor? Seems to me that the car would be bad when I would think it would be running open loop, but better in closed loop conditions?
TIA
Try cleaning the throttle body. Take off the plastic intake pipe and have a look around the butterfly valve, chances are it's choked up in oil and gunk. Get some throttle body cleaner and a cloth and clean it up as best as you can.
I was always under the impression that throttle body/carb cleaner was bad on these due to a coating that was used on the internal faces?
