hi, i've just had the sense to buy my First MX5 and have a few questions, does anyone know of a breakers in Christchurch, my interior needs a few bits that are cracked replaced, and also is there a boot release lever anywhere?
thanks in advance

Hi Dizzy,

Glad you've joined us..........

Can't help with the ChCh wrecker but suggest you bookmark this one and perhaps have a look thru - if your "bits" aren't too big postage mightn't be a biggy...

In the central cup holder/arm rest.

Here you go, (03) 3772201, address is, 40 Disraeli st, off Selwyn St end.
Heres a link to a map, http://www.finda.co.nz/business/listing ... artsworld/
And ask for Mark, I have no connection at all with this business, but have had tons of help, and bits at a great price.
Cheers hope this helps,

Welcome to the friendliest group car people around!
The boot release lever I don't think was on the very early cars. My 1992 NA
has one though (in the armrest along with the petrol cap release).
Can't help with parts for you but what about the important stuff?
What year?
What colour?
Just curious!

Grant.

HI Grant,
would hate to think of you sitting wondering about my MX5 not getting any work done on a monday morning, its a 1600, 91, mariner blue

Thanks, I feel much better now!
I work from home (and it's wet outside) so I am managing to do something
towards fundraising for my NC eventually!
I suspect yours won't have the boot release but shouldn't be too difficult
to install. I put an electric one on mine operated from the alarm remote.
Very convenient.

yeah think i might get one of those dual boot/petrol flap openers they are only $40 from MX5 mart, anyone have any experience of fitting them?

Hi...fellow ChCh MX5 owner.

Biff is right, the boys at Mazline (specalist Mazda dismantlers) in Disraeli St will have most stuff you could possibly want (and then some)
Mark, one of the staff,is an MX5 owner/enthusiast.
I have to declare my interest...have bought so much stuff there, I must be an honourary director of the company by now!!!!!!!!

Good luck
